Hello all.
Attached is a picture of a Taurus .357 that exploded with a commercial reload. I first posted this under the reloading section, as I am quite sure the cause of the problem was not the revolver but a double charge or other problem with the round.
The revolver was a rental at the local range, but was in pretty good shape (I had looked at it only a couple days before). The rounds fired in it were commercial reloads.
The shooter was not injured except for a small scratch on his hand. He must be living right!
The topstrap went through the ceiling and is still there.
Just for information purposes. I am not knocking the Taurus or revolvers in general, just thought some of you might want to see this.
