Great advice!
Not just for shooting...
Power tools, weed whackers, lawn mowers!
And don’t forget the ear muffs. Friend of mine partially blew out his eardrum shooting a Ruger BlackHawk.
**.300 BO? .300 Barack Obama? **
BO = Black Out. But if I thought for one moment it meant BHO, it would get thrown overboard, and would not be an accident.
LOL. I actually have not heard of that one. I need to get the 2014 “Cartridges of the World.”
I knew a guy who used W/W powders... W/W-231 for very light loads in .44mag, but mostly in his .45acp. W/W-296 for heavy loads in his.44mag.
Well, the containers looked identical if you didn't check the labels...
He loaded up some .44mag with about 29gr of 231 (IIRC, about 6 gr made for a nice, light load)!
When he fired one of the rounds in his Super Redhawk, it backed out the primer and locked up the revolver. Later on, he tried shooting some of those rounds in his S&W Model 29... Blew the cylinder apart and took the topstrap off!
Rile #1, NEVER reload cartridges when distracted!
