Bad Day At The Range

Yes, you're quite right, I've been reloading for over 10 years now, thank God I've never even seen anything like that at the range, BUT I know that these things happen.

Yep, pretty scary photos!!

My 'kaboom' story involves factory-loaded ammo and a very early s/n 15xx 1903 Colt hammerless in .32 auto. Fired a squib round, didn't realize it, and fired again. Bulged barrel, broken barrel bushing. CRAP!! I really wish I'd have recognized the squib load and stopped firing....

Don't use pistol-caliber Wolf ammo, ever.
