Help ID This Rifle Round

[Chris]

I was shooting a Sig 556xi at a class when it jammed? The Instructor and I pulled this strange looking round out of my 5.56 gun. Just kidding. It looks like the first round fired and for whatever reason the case separated in the chamber leaving about 2/3 rds of the brass. The second round was fed right into the jammed casing. The Sig is a AK style upper piston operated with a lots of stout forward motion of the bolt, enough to place the second round where it now sits. Fortunately not enough to allow me to touch it off. Boy, that would have been fun. So if you'er shooting and it just doesn't feel right stop and inspect. Chris

Man... that's all kinds of ugly. Glad that didn't cause a major problem.

Be safe out there, team.

Too bad it isn't like a double stuffed Oreo. Double stuffed ammo, not so good.

Day-um!

Day-um!

Breech baby!

Count your lucky stars.

Thanks for the thread. Thanks for the reminder to use our noggin when shooting.

Reminders like these are invaluable to those who heed them...

That sure could have been a disaster, thanks for the thumbs up.

It's a 5.56 Nagant for shooting in gas seal revolvers.

I'd be sending that pic to sig. Scary situation right there.

Shoot, you beat me to it! I was going to say the exact same thing!

If I pulled that out of my rifle I would no longer be constipated

I saw this and I got the nervous farts. That's crazy.

Is that one of those new .223 FUBAR cartridges???????

 

[LONGSHOT]

looks like the birth of a bullet.

 

[ClutchyMcClutcherson]

I think it's a 5.56PF. Which obviously stands for pucker factor.

 

[Inigoes]

Reloaded brass?

 

[Streetgang]

Reloaded brass?

or improper headspace?

5.56 Super Mag. 70% more brass.

Factory ammo American Eagle 55 gr 223 rem purchased in bulk pack. I think it was just a fluke as I have shot this ammo many times over the years never any problems. Chris
