You guys just can't resist. He tosses the bait out and you fall all over each other to swallow it.

That posting that Captain has there from THR is from a kid that likes to really do heavy charges including 40+ grain charges of 777 & looking the OP's posting he even admitted to possibly be at the wrong with his hand loads that surely caused the demise of the cylinder but what Captain fails to realize is that the pistol is a lowly Italian made Pietta NMA that does not have the forged frame & even with the massive destruction of the cylinder the frame still held together.

I worked for a jet engine parts mfr. for 2 years, and did the hardness testing, grains structure/polishing, and certs on the steel rings, that went in jet engines- including military F-15, F-16, F-18 fighters. My dad worked there for 42 years. Also have a Degree in Automotive Technology, built many automobile engines as a side business, using various internal parts- cast iron, forged steel, billet steel, cast steel, aluminum & titanium. A close friend owns a machine shop. Through experience and research, I learned the basics.
