I hate to say it ,but I loaded some 9's one day with wrong power load on my dillion, none stuck in the barrel but some didn't go through a 1/2 plywood target. Now always use a powder failsafe in the system, no problem since.

It sounds like fail and feels like broken dreams. If it's your own reloads it's embarrassing as hell even if no one's around.I've never had a squib, and to be honest I actually would like to experience one just so I know what is sounds and feels like.

No you dont.....well, maybe you do under certain circumstances. Not under pressure or on the clock when sh!ts happening fast or in a SD scenario.....
Never had a squib and want to know what it's like? No problem... Just load up one (or more) rounds using just a primer and no powder, seating the bullet as normal. Just realize that THE BULLET WILL MOST LIKELY BLOCK THE BARREL EACH TIME and you MUST use a rod of soft material (wood, brass, aluminum, plastic) to put all the way through the barrel until you can see the rod at the other end of it. EVERY TIME. This is perfectly safe. Use the rod to check as no normal range safety manual or range rules allow a gun to be pointed directly at a person, including you. It is also VERY IMPORTANT to make sure that you use up in one session all of these you have made, to ensure that there are never any left around that can be mixed in with other ammo. Want to experience it once? Only load one round. Also, don't even take any other ammo in that caliber to the range with you. You cannot mix up what you don't have. When you get home, field-strip the gun and physically look down the barrel to ensure that everything is o.k.
Havnt seen a thread with this yet. Only with hand loads have I heard of rampant squibs.
Anyone have had/know of factory rounds that have had squibs? I know they are always a possibility, but am just curious.
Im about to go to the range on Friday and test out some Underwood ammo and I can't deny its usually on my mind.
LOL... I have been shooting with friends, who were pretty proud of there reloads,, till the primer falls out and down into there trigger group...Of course being the good friend that I am, I go ahead and verbally beat down whats left of there pride, just because I saw that they were emotionally weak and vulnerable at that moment.It sounds like fail and feels like broken dreams.

Thankfully they don't happen often. If you reload it's usually when you change something or try a new powder. Just because the recipie is in a published manual doesn't mean it's a good load or perhaps a good load for a particular firearm. Also component choice matters. Some brand x brass doesn't like brand y primer and so fourth.LOL...
