Well, I just experienced my first ever squib load - I've been shooting rifles for nearly 40 years and I've never had this happen. I loaded a FACTORY .357 cartridge into my brother-in-law's Henry rifle, pulled the trigger and heard a "fffuuuppphhh" - I ejected the case and looked down the barrel only to find a bullet stuck about 2" from the barrel end. It took me 20 minutes to find a dowel in order to push it back through. (glad I was paying attention when I fired off the round and didn't follow it with another round).
I've been reloading bullets for about the past 5 years and I've never had any problem of this type. To add insult to the situation, my brother-in-law then fed .357 round bullets into my Marlin 336 (30/30) - the sound wasn't too good when that round went off either. I promptly removed all of the ammo and my rifle from the range and called it quits for the day.
Arrgghhhh!
