I have heard reports of this wad separating and lodging in barrels but have never experienced it. I reload a lot of these hulls and have never had a problem even after three or four reloadings. But then again every time I open a gun and extract a hull I peek down the bores....
Joe nailed the best pieces of advise. I have also heard the stories of Fed base wads and have now developed the habit of "blow and peek". Not saying that was the problem, but as widely known as the Fed base wad separation is, I wonder why Fed hasn't addressed it?
Sure glad your buddy is ok Rob. I jammed a piece of re-bar in my hand, in the exact location as his wound, and it wasn't any fun.
There is a lot to be said for his character, as there are a lot of scumbags looking for the money trail.
Best,
Bill
