So I go out to shoot my brand new ruger sp101 today. I was shooting rounds that my father in law had given me, since he sold all of his 357 revolvers. I had shot it about 30 times when booooom. Cylinder blew apart and top-strap bent upward but didn't break.
So could it be the gun had a metallurgical defect or was it the ammo? My father in law never reloaded but I can't say that it wasn't reloads he bought off someone, because truthfully I do not know and neither does he. The ammo had been sitting around for years.
I'd love to post pics of it but I'm not totally sure how to.
