[QUOTE="winmag, post: 377474, member: 22166"] At a demo in California(before I was born) Roy Weatherby took a 30 cal bullet, and lodged it(how I dont know....primer fire only maybe???) part way down the bbl of a Mark 5, 300Wby, then loaded it with a live 300wby round and fired. The crowd was duckin for cover, but the Mark 5 was sound, and didnteven bulge the bbl! This is word for word from the guy who was there at the demo. Now I wasnt there so I cant sewar on a bible that its true. I also couldnt tell you if it was opperable, or damaged beyond safe fireing, Nor could I tell you if the bolt opened after fireing. But with what I hered, the bbl did NOT blow up. Both bullets came out the proper end. Great quality guns. Wish I had one. But Id NEVER try a test like that! Mr Weatherby, as briliant as he was, mustve been a little nutts too! [/QUOTE]
