Just about what I thought. The only weird thing is that I was pretty sure I was getting a boom every time unless I was mistaking the sound from the action. When the "final" one was fired, it was an obvious click..no boom, then all jammed up. I've had a couple squibs before in both pistols and 1 in an ar 15. I figured I would notice a squib.
I measured the outside diameter of the barrel. everything looks normal except for 1 spot way ahead of where I believe the rearmost bullet to be where it is a few thousandths fatter and appears to be only in one direction. If the barrel is full of squibs, it didn't make a difference on the outside diameter of the barrel except for possibly in that one spot.
I'll probably replace the barrel, but just to satisfy my interest, I'd like to see if I can melt the bullets out. How would one go about that?
EDIT:
What about a copper solvent? Ammonia? I could let it soak in the barrel for a day or so and see if it loosens up the jackets. That may cause them to come out easier. If I do get the bullets out, how do I test the barrel to see if it is ruined?
