Thanks for the replies! The reloads were mine @ 5gr. Bullseye under the 90gr. .309 Hornady bullet. The wood dowel did start to split so I quit using it. It was definitely a squib load probably only primer fired as the bullet is stuck just ahead of the chamber. Being a 4 inch barrel I will use a drill bit (reversed) to get it out. In 55+ years of reloading I have never had a squib load but $hit happens. I had only loaded 8 rounds and they all fired OK except that last one. BTW, those 7 rounds were very accurate @ 25 yards.
