This was an OLD mistake. (1987) My dad had a S&W 624 44 special. It's a great gun. We shot I a lot especially at pins.
one day my dad asked me to fire a few test rounds. I fired 3 and handed it back to him saying "Plenty"
Zoom ahead to 2014. Dad is getting old and I keep finding all his guns loaded in the house.
Mom and I decided to remove all ammo and powder from the house.
Later that year, I bought a new Bulldog. I was burning up my dad's reloads and found one of the 3.
The blow up was recorded and I was spoken to at the club.
I pulled the rest of the bullets and found one more of the super charged rounds. I think the third one was in the cylinder when it blew apart.
I sent the 44 to charter explaining exactly what happened. They sent me a new 44 shipping included.
I now have the Smith 44 special and the Bulldog. Thinking about getting a Charter 45 acp revolver.
No one was hurt.
