First squib ever.

I don't reload so I have to purchase my ammunition and my life is worth spending a few cents more, so I ALWAYS use the best ammunition available (i.e. Federal, Hornady, Remington).

You're awesome.

The only squib that I have experienced was with a war trophy German 98K Mauser with war surplus ammo. When I pulled the trigger no noise or recoil. I opened the action and the empty case ejected(no bullet in the round). When I looked inside the case and there was a white powdery residue in it. I guess the round left the German(?) factory with everything but the powder---war production snafu?

If it was actual WWII ammo, I've read that they used the interned Jews as slave labor as long as they stayed alive, and some espionage went on making sure ammo and guns, etc were defective.
I'm wondering if you ran onto one of those?

That had crossed my mind as well.

my first squib was during an IDPA match, luckily it was noticeable and i was pulled from line... but man the embarrassment alone has kept a bright light shinning on the powder station...
