[QUOTE="gunpower, post: 710792, member: 17099"] Back in 2002, I had a detonation in my 30/06 using 2400 powder. The result was a expanded chamber- 12 thou expansion. Was shooting 180 gr. hand cast lead bullets. Had been shooting this load for years. I always double check the load before I use a filler and seat a bullet. The bolt had to be hammered opened and a brass rod was used to remove the cartridge case. The gun smith was sure that it was detonation an not a double charge. I was by my self when this happened. Had to have the face of the bolt repaired and a new barrel installed on the rifle. The receiver was not damaged, like the gun smith said, it's a Ruger and it would take more than 12 thou. to damage the receiver. So to this day I have not used IMR 2400 powder in any reduced loads for the 30/06!! [/QUOTE]
