Federal Ammo - Near Disaster

I've shot Federal ammo for years in my hunting rifles and never had an issue. The only trouble I've ever had is one hangfire from Winchester. I think in mass production there's always a bad one once in a blue moon!
 
The Chicago fire was a disaster.

Chernobyl was a disaster.

Lindsay Lohan was a disaster.



This was a small burp.

So you're saying the next bullet hits the stuck one close to the breech, and pushes them both out the full length of the barrel with no-one the wiser?
Not likely.

I know of at least one P99 that did exactly this...mind you the shooter said recoil was stout...

no bulge in the barrel, no damage to the locking surfaces...nice to be lucky some days!
 
Maybe so.

How about it's a hang-fire, and that hang-fire turns into a KABOOM.

Would you rather have the gun in your hand, or on the table?:confused:

Just wonderin' Eh!:)

all except for putting the pistol down on the table due to a possible hangfire. It would probably would have been better to hold it pointed downrange for that duration instead of leaving it on a table.

For a misfire/hang fire: why on the ground? Is that safer than on the bench at the firing line? Why should everyone clear the area? If it didn't go off, why should you assume that if it does, it will somehow grenade the gun?
And why would the whole line clear because one gun has a problem?
I'm not arguing, just trying to follow the logic.

there were no tables ; had there been ,the gun would have been placed on the table-the line clears b/c it's an army thing- just like all the pits evacuate when some gomer drops the grenade instead if throwing

well to speal of range regulations . '' at no time should a Loaded firarm be left on a table, all guns should be unloaded with the action open pointing upwards .... or was that just a bunch of B.S i was told in the safety course and the FQT range officer exam ?

This is the most relevant and accurate statement WRT this thread.

#### happens.

One the other side of this, I have purchased and used any ammo I can get my hands on, less the corrosive stuff, and I've never experienced a squib load. I have made 10's of thousands of reloads and never had a mis-fire or squib load. I cannot even start to guess how much tax payer bought ammo I've shot in my 25 yr CF career and have never had a squib load.

Obviously the work of demons. How else could you explain the rotten egg/sulfur smell?
