AAHS
Yesterday I took a gentleman out for the first time on our SC course. He was knowledgable and has hunted and shot throughout his life and across the country. When we chatted at the end he told me that he once had a shotgun blow up on him peeling the barrel like a banana and lacerating his arm. Upon inspection he found the internal base wad from a reloaded AA had seperated and plugged the barrel. The next round blew up the gun.This was his best guess on why it blew up and he switched to Remington hulls.
I have not seen this and have shot tens of thousands of AAHS reloads, most of which are 12 gauge around 7200 PSI and light 28 gauge. We sliced up a few empty reloaded hulls and it was obvious that the internal base hull was a little cooked. I have gotten many reloads from these hulls with lower pressures.
Has anyone seen this or have any thoughts? Makes me a little uneasy.
