[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2249696, member: 10755"] No, it is practically impossible for a low pressure round to blow up a rifle unless there are other issues like a bore obstruction. All the talk of S.E.E. (Secondary Explosion Effect) has NEVER been produced in a lab. I have used many reduced loads with H4895 at 60% of a max load without issue. Tried a reduced load with H4350 in a 300WM and had hangfires, no S. E. E. or other nasty stuff, just click….boom. On my pressure trace, I have witnessed secondary peak pressure that is above 80,000psi just as the bullet leaves the muzzle, nothing happens to the brass. Unsure what causes it, but it has been suggested that it is the plasma igniting on bullet exit. The graph it produces is rather strange looking. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
