This has never happened to me but we've all heard stories or seen pictures of guns that have grenaded due to excessive pressure. I remember seeing a picture of a Colt SAA that blew the top strap and the cylinder apart because the shooter used a double charge of Bullseye. I wish loading manuals would show pictures of this stuff to show what happens when you start playing around in the red zone. I read somewhere that Elmer Keith destroyed atleast one or two revolvers when he was developing the 44 magnum. I think if loading manuals had pictures of these accidents it would really drive home the point that smokeless powder isn't anything to be played around with and should be treated with respect and safety. The people that have written these manuals aren't talking out their butt. They've put in long hours of research using expensive electronic instruments to measure pressure and velocities. I just wanted to start this blog to show other reloaders what NOT to do at the loading bench and prevent these accidents from happening to them.
