Barrel blewup

[swampbug]

This is (was) a barrel at the National F Open Championship in Phoenix.
Shooter is OK. Wind coach got hit in the finger by flying stock debris.
Barrel was shooting flawlessly until this. No one is sure what happened and barrel is being sent to barrel maker for analysis.
This is a 1.25 inch straight profile barrel.
Always be safe when reloading and while shooting.

Wow glad no one was hurt but maybe they shouldn't have put bad in the name across the barrel.

One of the reasons I`ve been hesitant to consider getting into reloading. If there`s any way to screw it up, I`ll find it. It only takes one.

And people wonder why I am cautious with an after it leaves the factory "fluting job"....

That is scary enough to take a big bite from your jeans!

The name on the barrel fits the results.
