Another Damascus Horror Story...

[Richard Flanders]

92gr of PB? You are a lucky fellow Paul. I blew the cylinder of a very nice Colt SAA .45 clean in half once from accidentally double charging some cases. Impressive. The middle round cooked the adjacent two off and the top of the cylinder just disappeared into the woods somewhere. The top strap was humped up pretty good but not broken. The frame was repairable in my book but Colt refused to touch it so I traded it off in return for gunsmithing services on a replacement SAA but kept the cylinder and to this day I put it on the bench next to me as a reminder EVERY time I reload pistol.... and I did that in about 1981.
