AR kaboom

[XDRoX]

A buddy on glocktalk posted this picture from a shooting competition over the weekend.

Apparently both guys load on a 1050 they share and were shooting on opposite sides of the range at the same time so they weren't able to stop the other kaboom from happening.

What happened was they accidentally poured a pistol powder in the 1050 instead of the intended rifle powder.

Both guys are fine.

Bullseye?

OT, but does anyone recognize those charging handles?

[Casual_Shooter]

Ouch...

And that's why I will never shoot someone else's reloaded.

This is also why it pays to have your head out of your arse while you load

Glad to hear everyone is OK, guns are cheap compared to E-Room visits.

holy moly glad they didnt get hurt at least, did they get it on video?

[Na-vah-duh]

Good reason to double and triple check while reloading and not to be distracted.

This is why I have a separate powder hopper for each toolhead on my Dillon 650 and big giant label stating what is in the hopper. It's a little more expensive but makes caliber changes quick and I still have all my fingers

One powder on the bench at a time, everything is labeled, including what is in the hopper.

This. +1

Ouch. I hope everyone is OK with all fingers still attached.

I think with two guys doing the loading there should have been at least a quadruple check done on the powder. One powder on the bench at a time. Checked and double checked. Expensive lesson not likely to be repeated I think.

Now where did I put my Bullseye.

Those look like some really nice uppers that got owned too.

So what do you do at that point? Can you even salvage anything, or you wouldn’t want to?

[ireload]

Oops. Glad that no one got hurt.
