[QUOTE="RAGGED EDGE, post: 1746895, member: 49669"] Long ago and far away a father and son took their Remington 760 Gamemasters in .270 Winchester caliber to the range after a night of reloading. All I really know is the bullet was a 150-grain round nose. The dad gave a round to his son and told him to take a shot. There was a horrible explosion when the kid pulled the trigger. The stock was cracked, the magazine was on the ground, and the action was bulged. Puzzled, the dad loaded a round and touched it off in his gun. Same outcome. Neither was hurt, probably due to gasses being directed downward through the magazine well. Turns out what was thought to be IMR-4831 was actually 4198. Both guns were junk. The guns ended up on display in a gun shop owned by friends of mine as an example of extreme carelessness when handloading. You cannot be TOO careful. [/QUOTE]
