Has anyone here ever had a factory loaded shotgun shell basically have a squib load (in the sense the primer detonates, but no powder or a light charge)? If so what exactly happened, did the shot still exit the barrel (I'm assuming it would)? A buddy believes he had one, and that led to a failure to deal with a variment he was after (I believe a close in coyote). He stated he felt less recoil, with a lighter muzzle blast/noise, but the hull was fully opened, and nothing was lodge in the barrel (I don't have access to the hull). A check of the area with thermal's did not indicate a blood trail, and no coyote was recovered.
Anyone have anything similar? I'm mainly just curious what the odds are, and if it presents the same hazards a squib load does in other firearms.
Thanks,
