Squib round, something to watch out for. Any time you have a round which doesn't sound right , or recoil right, you need to clear your weapon and examine the barrel for an obstruction. Most the the time they are a result of a casing which didn't receive a powder charge.
I think it was Remington who produced a bunch of cheap .22LR rounds in which half of them sounded like squibs, but weren't. Some of the people I used to shoot with complained about them.
