Reloading 9mm and got some squib load need help

[sigstroker]

If the primer doesn't go off, there's no bang and no push on the shoulder.

I've had trouble with Power Pistol. Max loads that barely fit in the case gave me barely 1000 fps. Sounds like they have inconsistent batches.

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.

I think you're right. If there is unburned powder in the breech, the primer didn't go off.

You can easily test to see if you are hitting the lands by taking the barrel out and dropping a finished round in there. If it drops in with room to wiggle and comes out easily and the face of the case does not jut out, then you are good.

The PC carbine is MUCH shorter to the leads than a SR-9, OR a M9 (92fs), by a FEW thou. at least.

I couldn't spin my 124gr plated reloads while plunk-testing in the PC carbine, but they spun fine our the 2) 9mm handguns.

You MIGHT have gotten your crimp just fine, but the length MIGHT have pushed the projectile into the leads, and the bolt wouldn't go all the way home.
I did this on SOME of my 1st 9mm reloads for the M9. It wouldn't fire, as it wasn't all the way "home", preventing firing out of battery.

Pretty much what I theorized...

After reading other posts, I also concluded the mechanics of this failure could be due to an extremely high primer, based on limited info from the OP.

Need pics of the bullet and the back of the errant case in order to dig deeper into this anomalous event.

I think there will be a great run of low priced newer reloading equipment in the near future.

I hope this doesn't turn into another "OP asks for help with a problem, gets advice from multiple sources, but never comes back to let everyone know the root cause or say thank you" thread.

Hmmm.. Where'd he go??

This was from March 8. Maybe something obvious when he took a closer look?

I will post picture of projectiles I retrieved
When I get them out of the range bag right now

I had to load much shorter LOA for my Ruger PCC. Was usung Extreme 147 hp. Top curve of the bullet did not like the PCC rifling. No problem with other bullets.

I think op has posted other what's wrong threads so do this STOP LOADING ANYTHING till you figure out what you are doing.

500 rounds with maybe high primers are too many if you keep f ing around will will kaboom you rifel.

Yup..... he's just jamming the bullet into the lands, and it stays there when he opens up the action, spilling powder all over.

Here is a picture of projectiles I finally found them
And the brass that believe is the one that it was fired out of let me know your thoughts I went back and checked what I had lift and they were all with in spec

Case gagues are weird and kind of useless. If it hits the lands, it doesn't work, even if it fits in the gauge.

You have to plunk test your rifle, nothing else will sort this.
