[QUOTE="jlanecr500, post: 4689330, member: 16430"] Of course, you have your opinion and I won't bow down to a low level to argue with you about it. Why did you ask if you didn't want to know the TRUTH ? Most smokeless newbies would likely not report a double load for fear of being excluded from the range. As usual, a non smokeless ML shooter trying to discredit the builder in some form or fashion. I knew about this some time back. The owner even admitted to the builder that he had mistakenly loaded the gun again after loading it previously. Again, I thank the good lord that the son was not injured. Hopefully both father and son learned from this mishap. I own pressure trace equipment and consider top end loads in the most capable guns to be less than 70,000 psi. I have personally traced a load that was 118,000 psi with no damage to a gun with a 1.285" shank. To my knowledge, the blown up gun had a 1.250" shank for 5". Chamber pressure would have to exceed 150,000 psi +++ and most likely over 175,000 psi ++ in order to have a blow up like that. A double charge with single bullet would likely not exceed those parameters. The gun was double loaded. Powder Bullet Powder Bullet. The used of a marked ramrod would have prevented this catastrophic event. Thank you Lord :pray: [/QUOTE]
