Seen similar before.
When I worked at Hot Shots, had a customer lodge 5 .357 Magnum bullets in the barrel of his 6” S&W 686. After we got the bullets out, the gun was sent to S&W, and checked out fine.
While it’s only a .22LR, had a customer bring a S&W M&P-15 .22 in to TruPrep, with approximately 24 bullets lodged in the barrel. Owner admitted that alcohol was involved. Once I got ‘em out, the gun seemed fine, although I recommended it be sent to S&W for a physical. I doubt he did that.
Dayum!
I couldnt imagine ever having more than the squib load stock in a barrel. Which we've all had but damn... Stacking 5 357mag bullets in the barrel is insane to me.
