I don't believe I've said an S.E.E. event is a "common occurrence" in this thread or any other. To the contrary, as I've stated a couple times before I believe the topic 6.5 Swede event of this thread was caused by a double charge. I have, in other threads, stated S.E.E. events are actually uncommon. However, "uncommon" does not mean they do not happen. Most such incidents such as this topic of this thread are the cause of reloading or shooter error; wrong powder, double or triple charges, bore obstructions (rods, dirt, mud etc.) or the use of the wrong cartridge, etc. It is human nature to want to blame something other than ourselves in events such as these or in an actual S.E.E. event. Most often we see with the advent of the internet the assumption that all such events are caused by S.E.E. Such is simply not the case.
"Is this another Cruise Missile thread?"
No, some of us are trying to have a thoughtful discussion on the topic. Are you trying to make it another Cruise Missile thread? I am not.
