[QUOTE="451LRML, post: 4984786, member: 17256"] FYI- Gabe Hoover of Cumberland Co. TN lost his hand with a Savage a few years ago. I spoke to him about the accident after it occurred. He insisted it was powder only as they had already removed the load and cleaned the plug and were just trying to get the powder to burn. I told him about S.E.E. that has occurred randomly since the late 1800’s, manufacturers haven’t been able to constantly reproduce. When we see it today mostly it’s associated with large volume cartridge rifles (many BPCR) loaded with smaller amounts of smokeless & no filler. The flame goes across the powder laying horizontal and it doesn’t ignite - it detonates. He put the blame on himself and was grateful for the explanation. SEE - Secondary Explosion Effect [/QUOTE]
