It does not appear to have engaged the rifling.
Ammunition is surplus South Korean .30 Carbine. I've had great luck with the stuff thus far, but this one was, obviously, an issue.

- Run again. Still no worky. Cartridge won't go into battery.
- Pull the magazine and ... . A bool-it is stuck shortly past the chamber.

Queries:
- Hazard a guess on what happened? Primer but no powder?
- Would you take the carbine to a gunsmith to double check all is OK or would you consider that overkill?
