Well, a friend of mine came over the other day, as I was dismantling the ammo... whackwhackwhack-a-mole style. He asked what the heck ? I gave him the story.... deal for a Security-Six, this came with the deal in a box of stuff, blahblah...
So, seeing as he's the kinda guy that can shoot straighter with a bigger gun than me (or anyone else for that matter), and he can handle more recoil, and his gun is shinier, and his wife is prettier, and his fire-engine is redder than yours, he decided he was gonna shoot that ammo.
Breaking it down is a waste, he sez.
Did I mention that some of my friends are idiots ?
So, we wander out back to the pistol-shooting range, and I stay back behind him a bit. I gotta watch this.
He loads up a cylinder in his SW-686. Fires 'em off, and says something like "Boy, that's a stiff load."
So he dumps the cylinder and we look at the brass -
170265
A little bit of primer flow..... and some split brass.
He did say he was getting sprayed in the face when he pulled the trigger. And this looked to be brand new R-P brass on the cartridges I broke down.
He decided he'd had enough of that ammo. I called him a wimp.
Now I'm back to whackwhackwhack-a-mole....
