Anybody ever have a squib load with a 22 ? I believe it was a cci stinger .
With the exception of my .22/250, when I couldn't find other ammo ( going back some time), I won't use any Remington ammo anymore. Just bad QC I guess, but too many problems. The box I had for the .22/250 had 3 that were bad as well. for .22 LR or WMR it's CCI and Aguila, with the exception of some Federal Punch for my "late night" firearm.More than one. With Remington Thunderbolts.
Mobuck pushed a twig down the barrel to see if it was clear.
Why was the sound so different. It was the sound of a capgun?
With a semi auto, and the tendency of folks to buzz through a magazine of ammo, they never notice it. With semiauto 22 a squib usually is louder than a full power load because all the noise and powder comes out of the breach end. I've even had a Remington 552 detonate halfway into the chamber (over sensitive primer?) and blew out the side of the case. Unfortunately, I wasn't wearing hearing protection. My right ear got a real ringing.Pushed the bullet out with 'a twig'? You were lucky.
I caution Grandkids about continuing to fire after noticing a weak report. Not sure they pay enough attention to such things. With ear pro it's not as apparent. They're more likely to just rack the bolt and try again.
I'll admit to an OOPS last week that could have been serious. I'd bought 6.8SPC ammo from a custom loader and was doing an accuracy check. Had my big ear pro muffs snugly in place and 3rd shot didn't recoil or cycle the bolt. Opened the bolt and out popped a case with bullet still in place. Checked the primer and it was dented. I set that round aside and continued shooting w/o further issues.
Next opportunity, I pulled the bullet and found the primer had fired but there was no powder so the bullet hadn't moved. With the heavy duty ear pro, I couldn't hear the primer pop.
