Had my own squib scare.

[Seabear]

During one om my strings on the Steel this weekend, my second shot went pffftt...I immediately dumped the cylinder and made a visual of the bore (with the cylinder swung out of course) as two ROs were yelling that the bullet had came out and hit the ground. I am responsible for MY gun and health, so I did a visual and reloaded to finish the string and still managed to pull a 17 second run.

The really funny part of it was that almost all of us in our squad were ROs for day two of the match. As I am inspecting and reloading a third RO was yelling and coming unglued yelling "don't shoot your gun, don't shoot your gun!!!!!!!!" I was yelling back "IT'S CLEAR, IT"S CLEAR". The RO running the Stage is hollering "It's CLEAR already"..I was laughing so hard I almost couldn't load. It was like a Three Stooges act.

Two guys said it sounded like a little more than a primer, but that the bullet barely made it out of the barrel like it rolled out and fell at my feet. You had to be there...

I've had my fair share of squibs in the 50 odd years I've been reloading. One of the funniest was one morning duck hunting. I stood up in the blind and had the proper lead on a mallard drake flaring into the decoys. I pulled the trigger the gun went "Poof" and I saw my shot column and wad loft out and sprinkle out about ten feet in front of the blind. Needless to say Mr. Mallard flew away that day.

Yes squibs suck. I haven't had one since I got a Dillon 550 but I have had a 10mm stuck in a barrel and a 38spl stuck in a snubby. Glad I noticed before I fired another round. Glad to hear your bullet had enought to clear the barrel.

Luckily I shoot slow. LOL Guess that's why I ended up third.

Thinking it over, I realized I listen for the clang, which slows me down.
