Squib load...bullet stuck

[243winxb]

Rim damage-
23,000 PSI moved the case body forward, when the primer fired.
The extractor damaged the case rim.

A piece of a brass rod maybe 6" in length "dropped" down the barrel will usually move a stuck bullet. Never had cause to use one myself but that's what's been said.
And that gizzmo to pump grease down the barrel to dis lodge a bullet? Wonder how long it took to get the ALL grease out?

Did see a guy start to pack up and go home when he had a stuck bullet in a 22.
HOLD ON THERE Pardner. Cleaning rod down the barrel got the bullet unstuck so he could keep on keeping on.

Seen that a few times from folks using a progressive press. Thanks but NO THANKS. I'll stick with my RCBS Rock Chucker. Light behind and over my right shoulder and in front shining on the block so I can see if EVERY CASE had powder OR not. Works for me.
NEVER had a NO POWDER charge. Have had no primer.
I could tell by the powder running out the bottom of the case.

Someone explain to me how a case with no primer hole, primed and loaded with powder results in the bullet traveling 1/3rd of the way up the barrel when fired.
I'd really like to hear a PLAUSIBLE explanation for that under the circumstances as given.
Still believe it was a substantial undercharge and the powder used doesn't behave well in below minimal charge weights. So it behaved in unpredictable fashion and in this case we have the results of that unpredictability.

No, it will not. Not when the bullet is several inches down the bore. Stuck in the leade? Then perhaps yes.
I suppose if you had one of those shitty factory barrels on low priced mass produced rifles then perhaps the bore is .0015" to .002" larger at the muzzle end compared to the breech end. If that were the case, then why did the bullet ever stop to begin with?
I presume we're not discussing such a scenario given the forum. Because those rifles are anything but accurate.

Still want to know how that bullet ever got several inches down the bore with no primer hole in the case.

Jeeze.... yes I did something wrong... I didn't notice that the hole was missing.

Shit happens. Probably never will happen again.

The primer firing acted like a hammer type bullet puller. Slamed the round forward into the chamber. The bullet jumped crimp & traveled into the barrel.

With no flash hole, had to happen this way?

Brass rods are used to hammer bullets from the bore. The rods must not protude from the muzzle a lot. Think 4" rod protruding from the muzzle. Use many more rods, till bullet exits the chamber.

It probably never happened and is physically impossible to have happened with the evidence that has been presented.

Drive a jacketed bullet several inches down a barrel. Tell me how a primer did that, when it's rare for the bullet to even leave the case if there's no power charge and an open flash-hole.
If someone wants to intentionally plug a primer hole and seat a bullet and duplicate this 'experiment', more power to you. I personally am not interested.

The loaded round neck diameter is smaller than the inside of the chamber, so when the primer fired gases escaped between the neck and the bullet as the neck expanded to the size of the chamber wall, eventually moving the bullet forward.

 

[DShortt]

And how exactly did the case become pressurized to expand the neck with no flash hole? Pressure on the case exterior is not going to expand the neck. If anything, it would do the opposite. Notice where the bullet is in the image in post #4?
Let alone develop enough pressure to drive the bullet several inches down the bore?

Those rounds with no primers tend not to be over pressured and safe in any firearm….
