A little JBWeld, good as knew.
Yikes!
and that reminds me!
I was at the range this weekend with another ODT'er when I had the first hang fire ever!
Shooting a 325gr HSM Bear Load out of a .454 Ruger Super Redhawk.
Don't you know that was exciting!
Hammer drops, primer pops, I get sprayed in the face with some little stuff, I'm still holding the gun on target and 5 seconds later the cannon goes off.
(Seemed longer than 5 seconds to me, lol.)
No damage to me or the gun, just a scare.
WEAR THOSE SHOOTING GLASSES!
(It could have been a whole lot different if that crud that flew back hit me in the eyes when I was still trying to control the gun.)

New to reloading stuff like this is good to see. I'm taking it slow and easy.
Hey there Kid, I know a guy that can fix this for not much Heartbreak at all.
That's about as bad as I have ever seen in a revolver, the top strap is totally gone.
I would guess a very fast burning powder that was double charged, but you never know.
Big volume case with a fast burning powder!!!

Yeah he Ruined that S&W.
i always seat bullets right after charge. slows the batch loading down a bit but makes it difficult to double charge. I've doubled more rifle rounds than i care to count going the batch load method. fortunately case fill in 308 is pretty much a nogo for doubles.
as for the gun, i would be curious what powder and the case fill. ive seen flashover before and it looks a lot like this.

wow, another reason for me not to shoot reloads
