I went to to the range to try out my second batch of reloads and had a squib. Luckily I caught it because the gun wouldn't go into battery. If the squib was down more in the barrel, I might have not been so lucky.
This is scary! I don't want this to happen again. This was from a batch of reloads that the powder hopper went dry when I was loading and didn't know which rounds were affected. I pulled all the loads and reloaded them again.
Since the cases already had live primers in them I didn't resize them. I just charged the cases and ran them thru the bullet and crimp die.
Can round with not enough crimp cause a squib?
