I'm finally back on this board after I figured out how to log in.LOL
Anyways , I'm glad you posted this. I had a similar problem a few months ago shooting my CZ-82.
I was using S & B Ball ammo .Had shot 4 or 5 mags . Every thing was great.
Then I was running through a mag and I pulled the trigger and It just made a really low poop.
The guy next to me heard it too and said,"I heard that". I said me too.
I dropped the mag and tried to clear the shell and I couldn't eject it.
It was stuck good.
I went to the on sight gun smith who happened to be there and he did the stick trick and got it out.
The bullet was still in the case.but it looked like it had some soot marks around the bullet that sorta matched the rifleling si I'm pretty sure it tried to fire . And maybe when he pushed the round back down, It seated the bullet back down in the shell.
The really weird part is I cant see where the primer was struck.
I thought a light strike but, I looked with a magnifier and cannot see any marks.
I know I fired the hammer. and the guy next to me heard it too.
I thought could I have cooked the round off? But, It didn't happen till I pulled the trigger.
I have run more S and B through the same gun with out any problems.
So maybe it is posible they had a few duds.
I don't think I saved the box to get the lot number ,But I have the bullet.
I just thought I'd reply with my experience.
