[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 1839162, member: 32631"] You sound a lot like me. The accepting reloads from somebody especially . I was 19 years old. A guy at Sporting good store gave a friend and I some 12 ga. reloads. I had my dad's A.H. Fox Sterlingworth double barrel. He got from his dad. Weren't Damascus barrels . I shot first shell and thought wow, that was a hot load. Second shot blew up in my face. The left barrel by breech opened up next to my face. From the pressure up my nose and face I thought it blew my face off. I had powder burns all over my face and brass from case head burried in my forearm in two places so far I couldn't get out with tweezers. I won't say how I got out. My dad was ticked off. I called my friend and told him what happened and don't shoot them. I took shotgun down to store to show and tell the SOB what happened . He said I think my charge bar messed up and dumped too much shot. I almost wrapped the shotgun around his head and got into an altercation with him. My friend convinced me wasn't worth it and we got escorted out of the store. That same jerk married a friend of mines sister... [/QUOTE]
