[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1682437, member: 4809"] You are correct in that 'powder bridging' can occur both when reloading and also when firing overbore cartridges. With reloading, it is no big deal (unless you are using a progressive reloader). Just use a funnel with a larger mouth, or pour the powder a litter slower and the problem is solved. When it happens while firing, it becomes a big and dangerous deal. That's probably why there were so many responses regarding powder bridging when firing. Powder bridging when firing still burns all the powder, but creates a huge spike in chamber pressure. [/QUOTE]
