A troubling video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRKP1OkR1fA&feature=related
According to the video author, the barrel explosion was due to a clog and not to improper ammo/reloads.
My question for the hunters and the warriors is: When you are in the field tracking game (or enemies) especially in deep wood areas what precaution you should and actually take to make sure something (a twig, some snow, anything dropping from a tree, mud, a small rock, etc...) is not ending up in your barrel bore with the nefarious consequences (or at minimum ruining the rifling) we all know?? It's not like you can check your barrel all the time before you take the shot when the occasion present itself...
I do not think the guy in the video had a properly plugged barrel on purpose...something ended up by chance where it shouldn't.
