During one of my relentless internet scowerages. Found it over at lonely machines blog.
Trying to track a photo of one of Mr. Keith's revolvers.
Squib load. Ouch. I'd probably develop a nasty flinch after this.

Al, Pretty interesting. Was there another bullet lodged in the barrel for this to happen ? I've heard in the past that a squib can cause this to happen, but I couldn't figure out how.
Thanks.
Chris

Ive seen lighter loads screw up a barrel when a squib wa present, maybe this was a full blow load.

Hello, Len.
Not sure. Internet photo. Look like they could be Ahrends, near as I can tell.

Re-read the story, shooter was shooting corbon magnum ammo, then swiched to corbon 44 special, so didn't notice the lack of recoil and bang when firing the shot after the squib. Even quality manufactured ammo will have a bad round in the box every now and then. (If you consider COrbon "Quality")

Maybe it's time we both did a little cleanup!
