I know of two (2) barrels that have ruptured this year. One shooter lost a thumb, the other was unhurt.

WITNESS MARKS ARE A REQUIREMENT, not an option.

Even not getting a bullet fully seated on the propellant, can cause a barrel bulge. IMO at that point, its time for a new barrel to be safe. Any bulge has weakened the barrel.
