my squib picture from today :(

[willbozz61]

Just thought I would share this with everyone....Anyone ever have a squib end up like this?

 

[jmstevens2]

Nope. Factory or reloads?

 

[Tom488]

I think another tenth of a grain would have done it

 

[56hawk]

Sorry, but i laughed pretty hard when I saw this. I've had a couple squibs, one with factory ammo. They all lodged only an inch or so down the barrel.

 

[Striker Fired]

Hornady XTP I presume.

 

[rsrocket1]

Did you use a screw to pull it out or a hammer and rod to push it all the way back?

 

[ljnowell]

I have seen pictures of such things before, but have never witnessed that in person.

Haven't had a squib yet, key word yet.

I think another tenth of a grain would have done it

I had to laugh at that one.

 

[W.E.G.]

That type of squib is called a "prairie dogger."

 

[Alec]

Hm. Did you read the instruction manual?

Sorry. I couldn't resist.

Thats funny!

 

[beatledog7]

You couldn't even get close to doing that on purpose!

 

[xmanpike]

That "read instruction manual" banner is terrible!

 

[1SOW]

My bbl was longer and the bullet was at the same distance as yours. (Semi-Auto)

Keep and frame that great photo.

Prarie dogger!

 

[chhodge69]

I was thinking "turtle head"

 

[mdi]

Great photo! Frame it and keep it near your press to remind you; Check the powder!

 

[Miata Mike]

Prarie dogger did bring a big grin to my face.
Glad to see it was caught before running a full charged load behind it.

 

[230therapy]

Hammer it back down in there all the way back to the forcing cone!

 

[nojoke]

Can't you just fire a +P behind it and get a "double tap"

 

[Eb1]

Is that a new muzzleloader?

 

[TonyT]

Never had that happen to me. Luckily you caught it before putting another buillet down that barrel.

 

[Searcher4851]

There was nothing wrong with that cartridge. The barrel was just too long. lol

 

[Double Naught Spy]

When a buddy of mine was new to reloading, he had a gun do this. It was the last round of his mag and the slide had locked back. I stopped him from continuing his drill just after he dropped the slide and was about to fire. It was an easy squib to clear.

Dang...hahaha!

Seriously, I hope that nothing bad happened.
