[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2541141, member: 9299"] Did you read Speers data I posted? As for your assumptions, of the 10's to 100's of thousands of reduced loads I, my old gun club members and so many others have loaded with proper powders, we have never experienced such an event. A handgun blowing up from a reduced load is more than likely from a projectile becoming unknowingly stuck in the barrel and a second round fired causing the overpressure event. As for the flash of the primer causing a "properly used" handgun propellant to burn too fast, I have never seen nor studied anything that ever supported this. I think you are possibly confusing slow burning powders for heavy loads vs faster ones in reduced loads? [/QUOTE]
