I wonder how many more times a thread will be made with this photo. Every time it's posted with a different story. It's been posted at least 6-7 times last year. Chinese 44Mag ammo, this is the best story yet. It' gets more outrageous every time.
Chinese ammo,

IIRC: Weren't these handloads where the owner mixed his powders up? Meaning same volume with a much faster powder...

That would be my guess. A 2400 sized charge of Bullseye under a 240gr .44 will flat ruin a range session.

the one bullet left in the chamber does not look like factory ammo

Looks like a Horny XTP

Well, so it was posted before. One of the bottomless mysteries of cyber space. I wonder what else is floating out there.

Incredible things I tell ya.

ahhh I love the smell of apocrypha in the morning. Smells like (inhales deeply) horse puckey.

I'd hardly call someone who's join date is July 2010 a "new guy"

What makes you think it is horny? Is it the fact that it was trying to just get the tip to penetrate, just to see how it feels, just for a second?

I heard that this was a bad lot of the CIAs .44 Magnum that contained too much powder on purpose, sold by the ATF to see who was buying .44 mag. When the guns blew up, they would know who bought the ammo because the powder they used was too fast and too furious. It is the Phoenix Project all over again.

I would hardly call anyone with a post count of 224 a veteran and a regular

Well, at the end for what it worth it provided some entertainment for you guys.

Those photos are kind of dated, I think I first saw them 3-4 years ago.

They do illustrate, however, just how fatally flawed all S&W revolvers with internal locks are. All of you that own them should transfer them to me immediately so that I can dispose of them correctly.

That would be a cool paperweight/conversation piece.

Blame the Chinese? blame yourself for demanding cheaper product and actually buying it. No one is making you buy Chinese bullets over Winchester or Remington. It amazes me how people just put blame others for being cheap.

If I put cheap parts on my guns or cars and it breaks easily or unreliable I blame myself for not paying more for quality items.

China has quality products but it is not exported since majority of Americans refuse to pay for quality and only want cheap. Go figure.

I personally won't blame cheap product for cheap quality. It is what it is.
