“I’ve been reloading for about 30 yrs now, and have never had a squib or double-load.”

Everyone I ever met face to face has fessed up to having both occasionally. Not saying you’re lying just saying in my experience you’re an exception.

I do wish there was an edit function. Should have read:

I’ll admit to one.
Waaay back to 1993, when I was bulk-loading 9mm lead rounds for my MAC-11. One day, I was teaching a lady friend to shoot and she was shooting my Beretta 92FS.

I heard a pop, but the slide didn’t budge and the hammer was still down. Sure enough, a squib load about 1” into the barrel. Since then, I always keep a wood dowell in my kit, but haven’d had to use it since.

It happens to the best of us.

Thank you. I’ve had primers that didn’t fire, but never had a round that did not leave the barrel or appear to be over charged.

I'm another, but I was always very careful while reloading - No distractions like tv or radio. But I was reloading for competition shooting, and probably loaded several hundred thousand rounds over the years in different calibers.
