I've been reloading on and off for about 15 yrs. So far I've never encountered a squib. Exactly what does it do to your handgun, and if it does occur , what is the best method for clearing one?

I had a series of squibs in a batch loaded by a friend of mine....

Just a strong suggestion.
Use a bore size brass or aluminum rod for stuck bullet removal.
Any decent hardware store sells it in 12" & 36" lengths.
A wood dowel rod my suffice for most pistol bullets, cause they ain't that hard to remove and they are unsually fairly large diameter.
But for pointed rifle bullets, or soft lead .22 bullets, NO WAY!
You ain't lived until somebody brings you a rifle to repair with a stuck jacketed spitzer bullet and a splintered & broken wood dowel rod wedged in beside itself several inches from the bullet.

Oh, by the way...I'm sure we missed the power charge and fired the round with only the primer. At least that seems like the most likely senario.
