[QUOTE="beastep, post: 2974919, member: 41032"] So just to eliminate all possibility of it being anything other than the ammo I tried a few things. I thought maybe there was a chance I had some junk in my firing pin channel or my tip was broke off my firing pin and when I ejected the round that didnt fire, the slug stuck in the lands if it was too long a oal and I didnt notice the powder that came out. You know, just to be sure it wasnt my fault. So I tore my gun apart and cleaned the channel out and inspected everything. It all looked just fine. I couldnt stand it so just to double check before I called them in the morning I grabbed 8 rounds out of the bulk pack and loaded them in a mag. I was going to go in the back yard and slowly shoot them and if anything felt wrong I would go back in the house and really look and see what happened. Went outside with my muffs on and stripped the top round off the mag. Aimed. Click. Now at this point I dont know what happened except that it didnt fire. Dropped the mag and waited to make sure it wasnt a hang fire. Nothing. Went in the house before I even pulled the slide back. Sat down at my table and pulled the slide and locked it back. Empty case dropped out. Good primer strike. Bullet stuck in barrel just after the chamber and where the rifling starts. Soot all in case and back of bullet. No unburned powder came out. So this one for sure had no powder or not even enough to sound any different than a dry fire. And that was the first one I grabbed out of the box. [/QUOTE]
