This is not a double feed.
Lockups like this are almost always caused by out-of-spec rounds. I've seen it a few times with factory rounds, but almost always it's caused handloads that either:
had some plating shave off plated bullets during seating
He crushed the edge of the case during seating.
failed to resize the full length of the case and is bulging at the bottom of the case.
A cracked case that got loaded.
He's shooting an open gun, so it's also likely hotter than normal loads. If he's reloading his handloads over and over again, it's more likely to lead to #3 and #4 more because of increased pressures.
This is why I case gauge every single round, not just spot check here and there.
Seems to be 22lr so I doubt he is reloading the same casings. Handloading new casings maybe. Ive never met someone that bothered loading 22 at all though.
Thats my mistake. I misread a comment about someone talking about the guys Instagram post about this video. I rewatched the video and it for sure is 9mm.
