    Colt Anaconda .44 exploding

    I was looking into a Colt Anaconda .44 magnum revolver as my next gun and was doing a search on google, the first link that comes up is of one that exploded into multiple pieces. Check out the pics and the story, pics are pretty crazy.

    it's all too possible to double charge a round and have it go unnoticed in a progressive loader.



    Straight from the article. He was using titegroup powder that doesn't take many grains. Be careful reloading - he is lucky he wasn't hurt.

          Thank your neighbor and fellow gun owners for passing Prop 63. For that gun control is a winning legislative agenda.
