Default RE: reloading in the field

And if a powder charge did somehow ignite under those circumstanmces, it would just 'foosh' up out of the barrel and singe a finger tip or something but wouldn't blow fingers off...it would just be a flash of flame.
Hey Roundball, is 'foosh' an industry term?

Seriously, i've shot several thousand times as well and an unplanned discharge has not happened to me. I've also loaded very quickly at times and not had any problems.
I've seen a barrel flash from a charge. And it likely would not kill you, but it could do permanent damage. It can happen.
I'd rather not have it happen to me, so I wait a minute or so and while I'm waiting, I swab
the barrel.
