I was explaining the burst barrel using Win factory loads. One guy said he purchased some older Win 20 ga wads. When loading them something did not feel right so he took the shell apart where he discovered the wad crush leaves had snapped at the hinge. He took several wads and manually crushed them and all snapped at the hinge. In the trash they went. Not sure if this is germane to this burst barrel but it could be.
