Damn! One of those situations where the giggle switch ain't so funny.
I had a squib from a Portuguese surplus 7.62 NATO round on the first range trip with my CMP special grade Garand (yes the rifle is .308 chambered obviously). Luckily the bullet only went so far into the barrel as to block the following round from going into battery. I hadn't even noticed it was a "pop" and not just a click as I worked the action thinking it was a misfeed. Not even when the squib's empty case fell out did I fully understand what had happened.
You live (so far in our cases!) and learn
