Pnut Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) This happened today. No one was hurt and I didn't crap my pants (I had to check, lol). I still can't believe I don't have a single scratch. I am posting this here as a reminder to be very careful. I noticed some weird stuff also, the first 5 rounds all had light strikes the first time, then shot the second time. 6th round also, had a light strike. The 7th was the squib, the 8th blew it up.

RJH Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Reloads I am guessing? And, being a single action, and I assume relatively slow fire, did you not notice that the bullet didn't make it out of the barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnut Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Reloads. I was going slow, I did not notice it, I didn't even hear the primer go off. Maybe I was distracted with the light strikes. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Phil Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 That's probably like a $20 barrel and shipping, right? Glad you're okay. I wouldn't have had to check the crap thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnut Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 Lol. $240 with shipping both ways included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used a hand primer for each round. LR primers. New Starline brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillywig Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Back when I shot ICORE with light trigger job revolvers I used a hand prime tool after I loaded the ammo to make sure the primers were set and set hard in the pocket. Also had to use federal to make sure they went bang on the first try That poor BFR is a mess. Glad your OK I don't think my pants would have been after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnut Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) I want to test if it was the gun or the primers. So I am taking apart the 25 rounds I loaded for that session and will shoot the primers to burn them off when I get the gun back. I did ask MRI to check the light strike issue while they replace the barrel. Edited August 8, 2020 by Pnut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
