Newbies should be reminded that we don't eject shells onto the ground with either paper or plastic shells when shooting expensive guns. A tube separation can destroy a gun, so we eject into our hands to insure that every shell is intact after firing. Even a modern plastic shell can go beyond the forcing cone if a separation occurs in a large bore gun like a Super Fox or older Parker with larger than nominal dimension bore. I will let Frank explain base wad separations and their possible consequences.
