Is the redX supposed to be part of the folly?

I don't see no steenkin boolits.

[stubshaft]

Those new X tip square groove boolits make it hard to tell but yuo can definitely see the foreshortening of the tip right below the crimp groove.

Funny how the pic will show up in a preview of your post but won't show up when you actually post the thread to the forum. Weird! :confused:

Anywhooo...I did the right click save thing to my hard drive and then re-uploaded it to my photobucket site. You should be able to see it now.

[Heavy lead]

Better put some extra powder in that next one.

[powderburnerr]

looks like they obdurated so much they bulged the barrel eh!

[beanflip]

Now I know where waksupi got his loob grooves ........ notice they are missing!

[7of7]

It looks like the first one and the second one did, there is a gap in between the two,... and the rest may not have since there is no gap between them... But then you may consider that they may like each other and wanted to stick together....
This kind of thing happens when you leave these things next to each other in the magazine for to long, they tend to get accustomed to being close to each other and they don't want to get to far away.....:veryconfu

I was at a range perhaps 25yrs ago, back when IHMSA was taking off, and there was this dude.
He had gotten a Ruger Super BlackHawk, and had gone from firing factory to reloads.
At the range, he targeted, pulled the trigger, his target was on the berm at the 100rd line, and nothing hit the bank.
He rapidly pulled the hammer, sighted, and pulled. Nothing.
He did this to empty his pistol.
We were all standing around at this time, the noise made it obvious something was happening that was out of the ordinary.
All six were in the barrel!
I had heard the Super BlackHawk was strong, and I had an older one, but that was something.
We heard nothing on the pistol. The person went somewhere. I made sure I double checked the primers, powder charge. I was new to reloading, I checked everything.
Well, one day, the barrel showed up at the range! The person had had the barrel replaced! I know nothing of the condition of the pistol overall, but I did see six jacketeds in the barrel. They looked like the barrel above, except, the first round was tight like all the rest. There was no room between the bullets.
I have had one squib go off in a rifle. Couldn't chamber another, that is how I knew. But six stuck in a tube! I also do not know if he was firing magnums, or .44 specials. Either way, it sure was plugged. No bulge, but plugged. The barrel was cut in half on this one.
Something you remember for a long time.

[lwknight]

I have a mere 22 rifle with a bulged barrel from a 22 short bullet getting stuck and being shot out with another. I would say that the bullet obturated the barrel totally and inargueably.

[swheeler]

Wow that is one heavy weight bullet! That front portion must be the soft nose?

[357maximum]

Everyone seeks the true one hole cal size group......some say it ain't possible...well there ya have it...photographic evidence of a one hole group@ caliber size.




I answered YES btw.

[Russel Nash]

I wonder if he actually had bullets fall out of the muzzle of the barrel and then hit him on the foot.

:mrgreen:

Ya do know that a .45 ACP 1911 typically holds eight in the magazine, right?

:veryconfu

Is that the first four we are looking at inside the barrel....or the last four?

:confused:

[JD Yellowhammer]

That ain't a barrel, it's a Polish sizing die! (Apologies to the Poles, here. Didn't know what would be safe or pc, and "lawyers" didn't work right).

[Shiloh]

The barrel is bulged from the last boolit driven into the one in front of it.

How could someone not suspect something was wrong after the first shot?

[357maximum]

That is the most severe case of LEADING I have ever seen in a 1911...doh

[azrednek]

He was distracted by the shooter in the adjacent lane with obturated string stoppers.

Man! I would like to obturate her.

Yeah, that might take several Choreboys and some elbow grease to get rid of that leading.

[fourdollarbill]

That had to have been on purpose. Unless he had a super fast trigger finger that could not stop.

That's a Bow! How's she shoot that without getting the left one in the way, in the wringer so to speak?
There are stories about the amazon's of Greek myth cutting the left breast off so as to not interfere with the bow.

That would be a serious shame in this case!

more importantly, how did the barrel not bulge....this picture depicts and IMPOSSIBLE situation....the bullets would have catastrophically failed and shattered....and the barrel would have bulged....should I post a picture of a barrel I have that this happened to....??? it ain't pretty [smilie=l:

[Russel Nash]
