Experienced a squib for the first time the other day. Never had this happen in probably close to 2000 of my handloaded .38s I have put through this revolver.



Was shooting 125 grain plated bullets over Accurate #2. I had loaded up 250 of these and was down to the last 50.

Bang Bang Bang pop, ejected the cases and unburnt powder came out with them. I think that case may have had a little water in it left from cleaning when I charged the case. The power of just the primer going off must have been enough to send the bullet into the barrel just beyond the forcing cone.

Embarrassing, and proof it pays to pay attention when loading and shooting
