I made it too big, just wait I'll get even I promise! I will never forget and my time of glory will come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can promise that. If my wife wasn't on here I would just lie about it and say it didn't happen, but she would correct me. Oh well I was trying to play it to safe and ended up getting burned. Live and learn.

Now Now, it wasn't that bad. Heck, I got a dang good laugh out of it. In fact I'm still laughing about it:D If you haven't had experiences like that you haven't sat at the reloading bench long enough. I've got my own doozies, just not exactly like that one;)

RE: Want to laugh????????????
 

I am still quite new to reloading and thats the last time I will tempt to underload my .454 Casull. From now on I will just load .45 Colt brass and shot them in my Casull. For those of you who are wondering YES THE BULLET GOT STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BARRLE, but it wasn't bad to get out with (gunsmith) Larrys instructions.

Don't worry. just count your blessings.
I substituted 4320 for 4831 once. Ruint a mighty good Model 70.
I'm lucky it didn't blow that bolt back thru my brain

RE: Want to laugh????????????
 

At least you didn't keep shooting. [8D]

I've seen pictures of sectioned barrels of people that managed to get multiple lead bullets lodged in a barrel from underloading them. They just kept shooting. They didn't blow up anything being that they were light enough for the gas to escape through the cylinder gap but the barrel was shot.

I underloaded some 4320 ionce. Almost blew up a good 30-06. I had to send it in and have the headspace reset. Underloads often explode with rifle powder as apposed to burning like it should. I naver could get the bolt opened. The gunsmith did though.

I'm sure many of you know this but I'll tell you why this happens for those that don't.

When a cartridge is under loaded to point where it will damage a firearm it happens because instead of the primer igniting the powder fully from the rear where it is suppose to it sends sparks to the front of the case as well and also ingnites the front of the powder charge. When the powder burns from the front and the back at the same time it creates a huge surge in pressure when they meet.

Think of two waves in the ocean moving toward each other. When the two meet they create a single wave that is double the size of the two single waves. Much the same thing happens in underloaded cartridges.
