so i've been running a lot of these bulk packs through my .22lr pistol/rifle, and on a couple (maybe 4 or 5) of rounds, i get not a BANG!, but a THZZZIP!
i noticed last time that i could see burning particles exiting on these 'thzzippy' rounds, and they werent following the point of aim. they'd arc out to the left.
at first i started thinking it was squibs, but the barrel wasnt obstructed.
whoops, forgot, this last time it was happening in my ruger mk 2. its also happened on an old marlin .22 rifle once or twice. the noise difference is quite noticeable. and the last range session (last night) was in low-light, so i could see the difference in muzzle flash as well.
anyone have any ideas what i've encountered? its happened on two different bulk packs now.
