I bought that shirt back in 1999......when it had the Porsche crest on the front!
Long since removed due to the 'Porsche Reign of Trademark Terror' in 1999/2000...

is that for real??? something like this happened to a friend of mine many moons ago. Can happen from a bore obstruction, incorrect bullet size, too much or wrong type of powder in handloads - anything that can cause an overpressure situation. In my friends case, he left his reloading bench halfway through loading a batch of 30.06 rounds for his Springfield to do some work with his father on the ranch. While he was gone, little brother came in and loaded a bunch of .357 mag rounds, then cleaned up after himself and put everything back the way it was - except he forgot to replace the Red Dot powder he was using with the rifle powder his brother was using. My friend returned to the bench and finished loading his 30.06 rounds with pistol powder - and a hot one at that. He went out to his range and got a few rounds through before he hit one of the bad rounds. When he woke up about 10 minutes later, his Springfield A1 barrell looked like the one pictured, the stock was split in two lengthwise, and the bolt had sheared the lugs or broken in half, I can't remember which - he said the bolt stop was the only thing that saved him from having the bolt imbedded in his brain. And the Springfield is a very heavy duty action.

Yup, it's for real. Here is what caused it; a laser bore sight left in the muzzle:

ahh, I see now Jeff. The arbor from the bore sight was in the barrel and the shooter forgot about it and fired a live round. Now Myth Busters couldn't get a shot gun to split. They should have used a weapon with a higher CUP number like a 30-06!

ran into Kinky at while at work at Love Field today. Pretty cool but he gave me the "dead fish" handshake.
This is for you Mark.

Politicians all do. Imagine shaking hands all day...giving a firm handshake, then you meet an a=hole who wants to turn things into a grip contest...so, they simply don't offer up their knuckles for a possible crushing. Make sense now?

One reason I never buy reloads. I HAVE seen a shotgun go like that. Even snow in the barrel will split them or blow the side out of a barrel.. I have seen MANY with barrles bulged from that.

Am I the only one that sees the new trade center buildings as a giant hand flipping the bird?

This has nothing to do with reloads; a factory load would have burst the barrel just as easily. By the way, I reload all of my own ammo for all of my guns; no exceptions. Most of them have never had a factory round go down the tube. Over 30 years worth now, averaging several thousand rounds a year in match shooting alone, not to metion plinking and hunting. Never a failure; not one.
