I know someone that had a factory load lodge in the barrel, I was there when it happened. Luckily, the guy standing behind him stopped him from firing after he had already racked the slide and loaded another round. Would have destroyed a really nice Browning BDA.It can happen to anyone, even if you only use factory ammo...
How does that even happen?
In the case of reloads- inattention, wrong powder, squib leaving a bore obstruction and sometimes just plain stupidity. On that last one, there are guys who think if some is great, more is even better and won't pay attention to listed max loads and pressures.
Reloading can be as safe as shooting factory if you want. If you want to live on the edge, just fill a 300Winmag case with Bullseye powder and see how that goes. It might be survivable.
I reload but seems odd that the second case would ignite the way it did. Looks like the primer was hit.
Lock out die and visual confirmation of each round lets me way better at night.
Take a closer look. That was not 2 rounds going off. It was three. The one in the middle is gone.
Don't think so, I'd have to see the primer strikes to believe there was more than one discharge. The gases from the one cartridge did all the wrecking, jmho.Take a closer look. That was not 2 rounds going off. It was three. The one in the middle is gone.

The second cases didn't fire. He posted some other pictures later and primers on the other rounds are still live. The blast ripped the other 2 bullets apart!I reload but seems odd that the second case would ignite the way it did. Looks like the primer was hit.
I read the post in another forum as well. The owner admitted to it being a double charge. He had the balls to post and admit his error in hopes it would keep others on their toes. It's easy to get complacent when loading a bunch at one time. You get into a rhythm and stop paying attention. Anytime I'm loading a bunch of rounds and find my mind wandering, I pack it in for the day. I do have a powder check on my Dillon 650 that is supposed to alert in case of a double charge, but things do fail.
“They” thought it interesting and worthy of sharing. As to where “they” posted it, “they” were concerned a post in the classifieds might have garnered only “wish you were closer” responses. Regarding the title, “they” didn’t think of using “I’m gunna start reloading tomorrow morning” or “Why reloading should become a felony”.Pardon me for saying this (half tongue-in-cheek) but I'm still wondering why a non-reloader felt it necessary to start a thread titled "why I don't reload" in a reloading section and post a photo like this. It would be like someone posting a photo of a car accident in an automotive forum and title it "why I take the bus". What was the point? Were they hoping to convert someone?
Then "You" definitely should not start reloading. I get it, and I won't argue with you about it.“They” thought it interesting and worthy of sharing.

I’m not sure about “they” but, there are several reasons I don’t reload. These include:
Not seeing an economic advantage considering the ammo mix I currently shoot
Limited space
An attention span extremely conducive to potentially catastrophic mistakes
Can someone/anyone tell us the "other forum" where the photo came from so we can read "the rest of the story"?????
