Larry,

We've all seen or rather heard of the rare chamber failure. I ask who has witnessed one or had one brought into their shop. I'll certainly settle for an account from someone you know that blew one up.

My good friend "Bladesmith" mistakenly loaded PB for black powder. On his 4th shot with of 94 grains of PB in a lamanated barrered Remington double the chamber burst. He later had the remaining shells tested at around 24,000 PSI. That is the one and only chamber failure that anyone I know would swear to in court as to exactly what happened.

This is a good discussion even if our opinions differ.

Good and safe shooting to all,
Mark
