Took a range trip today to check the zero on an AR that has never failed me. When I loaded 5 rounds in the magazine and pulled the trigger, NOTHING!. Cycled another rounds and the same thing. I looked at the primer and the strikes were very good. Got home and started pulling the rounds using a collet puller. Pulled the first unfired round and emptied the powder into the canister, pulled another round and dumped the powder................wait no powder, pulled another round..............no powder,,,,,,,,,,no powder in the next one, then powder in the next one. Thinking to myself what the hell did I do. I was using 22.4 gn of H335 and started thinking about pulling the other 75 rounds in the baggie then it hit me, I just need to weigh each round. Some were 150 gn and the others were 174 gns.
I have not had a squid load since I was in college and that was back in 1976. Interesting using magnum primers, there was not enough bang to send the 55 grn bullet out of the case and did not even hear a bang.
I mixed the no powder loads in a baggy with loads that I loaded a few months earlier.
