I was target shooting with a friend awhile back and something very strange happened. i have a kimber pro-carry .45 and i was using Wolf 230 gr. fmj. While i was shooting, about the third round in the mag., I pulled the trigger and the gun kicked, stirred up dirt about 20 feet ahead of me, and i felt something hit my foot. i looked down and the bullet was sitting right beside my foot. the bullet was not deformed, but one side of it was rubbed smooth, free of groove marks. asked a few people what may have happened, and they each had different opinions.
1 a man with a considerable amount of gunsmithing, said the primer went off, but the main charge did not. however, the gun kicked just as hard as always. Wouldn't that disprove the theory?
2 another said the bullet came out like normal, hit the ground causing the rubbing marks, and bounced back and hit my foot. But would it have hurt much worse if that was the case?
3 the last said it justdidn't have enough powder to go anywhere.
