Can someone screen shot and post it on here?

Best I could do, looks like he was using a heavy bullet too. I can't say if that bullet was still in the bore then removed and sat there, or if was just one added for the pic. I can't get much magnification via facebook, oh wait, dummy you downloaded it, just use your picture viewer. (Pay no heed I often talk to myself). I don't see any rifling marks on the bullet

No matter how many times it's written not to do that, people will always try it anyway.

I have always said everyone should have the right to own firearms, but not everybody should. I hope this clown gets out of the game.

Stupid seems to be a universal constant. Friend works at a gun range, there are always those that come in around hunting season with a rifle or muzzle loader they picked up somewhere. Last time I was there guy had a scope with some mounts still clamped in the rings and a muzzle loader. He wanted to go hunting, wrong mounts, no idea what might have gone to, no screws to mount them if they were right. We all know the wide variety of screws holding such things together will drive you crazy. A good candidate for using some smokeless because he didnt figured it mattered.

We have all met these people at the range. Last time I was there I didnt shoot very long. Went down to the rifle section, nobody there, good. Went down used some staples from a target w holes in it, got ready to shoot. Guy shows up, did you take my target down? Ummm what, oh he just went to the shop to get the screws tightened on his scope, he was coming back. I would somehow know this.

Darwin is proved rite often huh? ... just weedin out some weeds so the fruit can flourish.

some fool did that a few years ago near me. they had a home made cannon. well they were firing it and all was well. then it gets strange one story is they ran out of black powder. the other is they thought smokeless would give a loader boom. either way one dead two hurt bad.

[Hardcast416taylor]

Maybe he was using a duplex load? You know the load with 60 grains of 2400 and 60 grains of 4F black powder. Can`t understand what went wrong, I was using a Mag cap for ignition? "This is meant as a JOKE and not a SERIOUS LOAD!!!" It is outright stupidity on a scale like this blowup and other smaller yet still serious accidents that keeps me far away from any sort of shooting range!Robert
