Bad Day At The Range

[Ron Smith]

I know the young man who owned this Marlin. He is missing two fingers from his left hand, and cannot use what remains of his left hand. It was the first shot out of the rifle using a bad handload. He was a novice at handloading and he used 700X powder , instead of Reloader 7.

Now that rifle REALLY did not like that much 700X powder......sounds like the shooter didn't either.
