Cabela’s sold a one of a kind collector M-1 Garand last year with 500 rounds of S&B. In the first 100 rounds there was a double charge that blew the side of the housing out and destroyed the beautiful walnut stock. Unrepairable. That tells me quality control is not good.

When it comes to ammo screwing up I don’t take any chances. Its lucky the incident happened in a Garand. They are built like a tank. Any regular bolt action weapon it would have come out like a hand grenade and caused serious injury.

Yowzer. I’ll make sure not to put any of that in my 1903.
