My dad sent me this link yesterday, it's a sensation piece on an exploding 10ML-II, and pending lawsuit.

I'm curious about what could have happened here. I believe the 10ML-II was designed to shoot some smokeless loads, so my gut is telling me someone used pistol powder, or a BP measure for smokeless, or maybe a compressed smokeless load that pushed the pressure up? I'm not sure I'd feel great about running smokeless in a ML rifle even if it were designed to do it, but I'd be very surprised to learn that these were exploding with BP charges.
