K31 Ouch!!
Apparently a possible double charge and a fracture in the receiver ring plus a slightly oversize cast bullet
It might be Swiss but they still break under the right (wrong) circumstances................

Re: K31 Ouch!!
It would be interesting to find out more, a slightly oversized cast bullet had nowt to do with that blow up I reckon. Someones you know Duncan ?
Re: K31 Ouch!!
Was the barrel plugged up? Did the shooter get hit by any of the the flying metal?

Don't know him Joe, someone in Canada.
I cannot think the case was double charged, there isn't enough room! I doubt the bullet had anything to do with it either but a possible old fracture in the receiver ring sounds most likely to me. I believe he had a bit of a bloody face.

Re: K31 Ouch!!
Cast bullet says reloaded. Who knows what powder was used. The case is big enough to get a pretty hefty load of fast pistol powder. (Think Bullseye or similar.)

Certainly, but I have to say that if this twit was using pistol powder then he deserves a broken rifle, he is now the owner of a lot of spare parts................

Wow!
I saw things about this on a couple of places. The different sites seem to come down to reloader's error.
So we learn from other peoples' mistakes so we don't have to learn from our own.

Re: K31 Ouch!!

Load in both issues are Vitav. N 110 double charged and jacketed bullets
