That's a nasty blowup, but still short of the one reported two years in a M1903 Mannlicher-Schoenauer. That one crystallized the action and tore metal. We are still looking for the culprit in that one, and the owner has clammed up. Maybe he was reloading with Bullseye. | |||

My 2 powder measures are infinitely accurate they're OHAUS Mod 7200 DU-O-MEASURES with a single drum for pistol and rifle.I still use a scale to check them especially when using extruded powder,with flake or ball they drop accurate charges but checking them is required..We had a gun club member who hot loaded everything ,one time I made a mistake and followed his rec while loading at the firing bench using unique had a hard time opening a martini cadet and when I did the primer fell out of the brass and everything was black,never took his advice again.He blew up many handguns and rifles but he continued to overload everything. | |||

I use an electronic scale and weigh all my rifle powder charges. Then on hunting ammo, especially DG ammo I weigh the finished round, as well as try each one in the rifles chamber. I have even been known to weigh factory rounds that I will use for DG. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

Thank you for sharing. I load a lot of '06 with 22 grains of 4759. I have always been afraid of an overcharge, so here is what I do: After charging the block, I take a gauge (a pencil with the tip flattened, and a line marked on it) and drop it into every case, and see that the line is close to the case mouth. You could make one for a 270 out of some dowel rod. | |||
