This one was weird. Shooting my 300 BLK AR with reloaded ammo that I'm testing. I had a primer not go off so I decided to try and strike it again and reloaded it on top of the mag. Cycled it into the gun. It didn't fire. So I just pulled the bolt hard to eject and load the next round. Gun jammed. Tried to load 3 rounds and the gun was jamming and setting the bullet back. So I took it apart and checked the chamber. Apparently the second firing pin strike did not set off the primer but did eject the bullet out of the case. The next round drove it just into the chamber and the next two would not chamber because of it. Took a rod and pushed it back out.
Before anyone suggests the primer did fire. There was no sound at the hammer fall but the hammer. And I was wearing electronic ear pro.
Lesson learned, I'll probably never try to double strike a primer on a semi auto. I sure didn't try the second one that didn't fire. Could have been much worse. Particularly since I had my can on the rifle too. If I ever do, check the round after the second attempt instead of just ejecting it because you are annoyed.
There were 2 guys I know from the club there when it happened. Both reload. And neither one had ever seen that.
