Sorry about your misfortune and I am really glad to hear that you were not hurt..... About five years ago I bought a Model 21 at a gunshow in Louisville and I took it out pheasant hunting the following Monday. I didn't see any birds all day and was disappointed that I didn't get to try out my new gun. So on the way back to the car I thought- what the heck. Late in the day. No one around. There was a styrofoam cup stuck in a little tree alongside the path. So what the heck? I just had to try out the gun. So I backed off about thirty yards, aimed, pulled the trigger and KAA-BOOOOM. The cup totally disappeared and I thought- man, this gun really kicks! Then when I opened it up, I looked at the primers saw that both barrels had discharged. These were two 1 1/8 oz. high velocity trap loads I loaded for about 1200 fps. But it didn't phase the gun. I guess the Winchester proof load tests proved out right after all!
