I'm relatively new to reloading, been through about 4000 rounds of 9mm so far so not much experience yet. I had my first squib the other day in my 226 which surprised me as I'm in the habit of looking for powder before inserting each bullet during the process (newbie caution if anything). Also surprising was that the recoil was normal and so was the sound. The stuck bullet (about 3/4 inch into the barrel) and the brass (which didn't eject) were both pretty burned. I'm not saying that I didn't make a mistake, but the fact that it didn't show any classic signs of a squib when I fired made me wonder. Is there anything besides a powderless round that can lead to a stuck bullet? Did the burning indicate that powder was ignited or would a primer-only shot do the same? Every time I google the topic of a stuck bullet a squib seems to be the only root cause that's talked about.
