Exploding Rifles! Where Are They?

[keederdag]

Rogelio; was shooting .22 Colibre's. They specifically (Aguila) specifically state that you are not supposed to use them in rifles. They are only powered by the rimfire primer, Aguila recognizes that they may not have enough poop to make it out of a rifle barrel. I use them in a rifle all the time too, However. I just make sure they come out, and don't mix e'm up with other LR ammo. Sorry Rogelio

has happened to me.an aunt gave me her deceased husbands ballard rifle(a ball/williams patent gun,hex barrel..old)i had paid a smith ckeck for functionally and safty- make some low powered loads up if it was ok.apparantly,1 of his loads was a tad bit too hot and the barrel split all the way back to the receiver.he said it was safe to shoot 44 specials through it loaded very lite..aparantly not.made a nice wallhanger for awhile then ended up as parts for a collector.never went back to that smith.idiot.
