Amazing and Cool Video Thread

[PSS]

So I think (99.9%) that he shot a squib load. I watched almost every shot hit except right before "Kaboom". If I can see that on a video then why the hell was this guy not paying attention. He even hesitated pulling the shot right before, own up to it man you shot a squib!

Moral of the pseudo rant is pay attention!

I don't know. I had a kaboom like that with a 1911 last week. I just started reloading again after a long hiatus and was testing my reloads by the barrel drop test using my RIA 2011 barrel. Rounds were running fine the next day through the RIA. My son was shooting a different 1911. Had a case head failure just like the one above. Blew out the mag and marked his hand where the gas vented thru gaps. Come to find out the 2nd pistol had a tighter chamber and the reloads weren't crimped enough. Excessive headspace. My bad for sure for not checking all my barrels. I ended up ordering a loaded round gauge to prevent that. But still not going to assume that all my reloads will fit every chamber. I plan on checking a dozen rounds or so in any barrel of a pistol I shoot that I haven't ran my reloads through before I trust the rounds. Wake up call for sure.

My first two Reloading Rules:

#1 I don't shooting anyone else's reloads
#2 I don't let anyone else shoot my reloads

If I have a guest at the range, it's name brand factory ammo only for them. No guarantees there either, but it's on the ammo company, not me.
