.45 blow up!

classic double load, why it pays to use bullet boards and look inside before placing bullets. It would be interesting to know make of the piece. The barrel just shattered, wonder if 4140 would do this?

"Bullet boards"... c'mon. I've been using a progressive press for 20+ years ... a DILLON and not once have I had such a problem that got to the load and fire stage. If it was a reloaded round the fault is entirely on the guy whom RELOADED it and little wood boards or plastic trays would not have prevented that. Know your press , know your loads and you will know when something is not right before it gets to the chamber.

I personally load at 100 or so at a time. My MEC Grabber is progressive, my Rockchucker isn't. It only takes once with Bullseye to destroy a weapon or an eye, so I don't mind taking my time and actually looking inside the case to see what or what isn't inside.
