Reloading 9mm and got some squib load need help

[skyline]

Hello everyone I reloaded around 500
9mm 115gr with power pistol and bayou bullets
Funny thing happened I went to test shoot them and on my 9 shot got a squib load but this one was deffernt the bullet was stock in barel but there was powder in the chamber kind of like the primer didn't go off
So I cleaned the fire arm wich is a ruger pc9 carbine
Then shot another dozen and it happen again so switched to standard fmj 9mm 115gr also my reloads
And not one heck up then I was curious so I ran a couple of dozen rounds threw my glock 17 with the bayou bullets and not one problem
What can it be

Is it really a squib? Are they loaded long and the bullet stays in the lands when you pull the slide back? With powder left it sounds like the primer isn't going off and when you rack it the case gets ejected and the bullet stays. The Ruger could be giving you light primer strikes.

I agree with M1NM that is what it looks like to me.

I dont believe I am loading them long I check each one with dillon case guage but the light primer strike sounds like the coallprite I did not have any issues with my glock 17

Strike it again and you'll know.

We need your powder and process also. OAL of the bullet.

I know I've created some squib cause I forget to check the powder reservoir.

Some people might have over-lubed the inside of a case causing unburned powder?

looks like not crimped enough

I'm going to postulate excessive COAL.
1. The round chambered and the bullet got jammed tight in the rifling.
2. Bolt did not close to battery due to excessive COAL.
3. When you pulled the trigger, the hammer hit low on the back of the bolt, but couldn't reach the firing pin because the bolt was not full-forward.

JMHO

Or maybe over-crimping

Take one apart and see:
- Are there indents from the brass into the bullet?
- Does the bullet drop out easily from the brass?

Take a pic of the primer end of the cartridge. Sounds like a high primer.

Any ways do a plunk test to make sure your overall length is correct.

I was thinking it wasn't crimped properly too edgerly. Also, cross referencing 2 different reloading books also gives you an idea of how different they can be and reach a good medium for your powder charge. Remember the Lee dies recommend 10% below the charge rate printed on the carbide die fold out. I use a Speer book and the Lee fold out. If not, could be the PC carbine. I bought a Ruger American and the metal sights were crooked from the factory.

Without further posted specifics it's just WAG time.

As other stated/asked/noted. Primer Pics? None of the powder left in receiver shows any sign of ignition. Even under max magnification, not even one singed or brown flake.

Chamber pic looks like the slug is just barely into the chamber. Long ways from the leade.

Limited visual evidence, looks more of a DUD than a Squib.

Was the primer struck? How does the primer strike look?

I'd like to see a picture of that bullet after it came out of the chamber.

I would like to know if primer was struck light or at all. Just because a round is loaded to max length on a drop gauge or the saami spec does not mean it will function in a given firearm. Bullets oglive dimensions vary a lot. Using your own barrel as a gauge will show you if the rifling is engaging the bullet oglive before you reach the listed max oal.
