Had my first squib load today!

[Beemer-mark]

I've had 1 squib in 15 years and am pretty positive it was due to lack of powder (i.e. primer only). After that I check my loads under a bright light.

The only rifle "squib" load I have experienced was with .308 Win. hand-load. All I heard was the "click"; recocked bolt and "click" again. Oh well, bad primer, right? Later I pulled the bullet, and the base of the bullet was burned! No powder, which some dummy (i.e., me) left out! Amazing that firing a primer would show no audible evidence of going off!
