Yeah!

I posted that because that forum is set so that old posts expire. If true, it gives a few clues as to what caused the ka-boom. The one fired brass on the table showed massive signs of overpressure. Why he fired a second one is crazy. My feeling is the first round weakened the reciever and the second one destroyed it.

I reload. So far I have not had a rifle blow. I read every report of a ka-boom and try to learn from others mistakes. That and I don't push my luck. I use moderate loads that should not overpressure, or detonate.
