I had my first squib round. I was loading 9mm, using Win231 & 125grain lead bullets. My load data showed to use 3.9 grains of powder so I started a little low as adviced at 3.7 grains. I was using CCI small pistol primers.
I did feel a recoil, and to my untrained hands it didn't feel any different than the other rounds. As you can see from the attached picture, there was a lot of unburned powder left in the guns insides. Luckily for me, it jammed my gun up pretty good so I didn't fire another round. The round lodged in the barrel but was easily removed.
It did eject the brass and I could not tell conclusively which one went with this round. From all that I found, none of them had any unusually wear or bulges or anything.
I am thinking something happened to the powder that deactivated it... i did not use any case lube.
See pic attached.
