I built a .32 ACP rifle for low noise cat sneeze.

.22 LR can absolutely KB and cause injury if fired in a defective or rotting firearm.

But as far as handloading, I suspect you could overcharge even a .25 ACP with compressed unique.

Actually, what the site says is air guns can diesel, and in the past some makers recommended adding oil to enhance the effect, but with modern construction materials and lubricants they shouldn't diesel. It goes on to say that with proper lubrication, the dieseling effect is small.

But with improper (excessive) lubrication with petroleum-based lubricants, dieseling can take place, and with enough lubrication it can damage the gun -- and guns have been damaged that way in the past, which was my point.

If KABOOM means-taking the firearm out of service, the firearm has not been made yet. Ringed barrels in 22lr happens. Homemade blanks can take a gun apart.

Anything built by man can go wrong. Just ask Mr. Murphy.

Ackley was able to blow up three Arisaka rifles, but he had to work at it. This is detailed in volume II of his handbook.

He used 60 grains of 3031 AND 10 grains of 2400. "Barrel blown off just ahead of receiver".

Bad as this was, one of the Arisaka rifles survived this load. Ackley then loaded 60 grains of 2400 and was able to shear the bolt lugs off this rifle too.

He did not have the means of measuring the pressure.

Thats why I said:
