[QUOTE="CRNA, post: 479440, member: 22495"] I was at the range last Friday and was talking to a guy there. He said he and a buddy were there at the same range a few years ago and were sighting in their muzzle loaders. Of course, there was some smalltalk going on between the two and then they resumed shooting. He told me that he was rudely interrupted while looking through his scope and settling in to take another shot when all of a sudden his buddy's scope flew over and hit him in the head. He (rather quickly) looked to see what the hell was going on and saw that his buddy's muzzle loader barrel was split from the fore end all the way down to right before the muzzle both on the upper portion and lower portion of the barrel. Turns out his friend loaded his gun, then got to talking, and forgot that he loaded it. He then proceeded to load it again!!! So there's two powder charges with a 300gr. bullet sandwiched in between. My guess is there was an immediate need to clean that stubborn "fouling" in the underwear of the shooter after that round. [/QUOTE]
