For You KG Folks

You may be interested in reading this thread from the other place I visit now and then.  Obviously some pretty stupid comments but buried in there may be something of meaning to you.    :bye:

Makes all that rib-falling-off BS about the Perazzis seem right at benign, eh?

That is probably why their Gunsmiths have a tent at the major comps. Presume they would have it ready to go back out on the next squad !

Much safer with a baikal.

I did see a gun which bulged with a home load. Not as catastrophic as the gun in the link but it did blow the rib off. 

The guy who's gun it was loaded a cartidge with the  wrong primers for the powder used.

The other dealer we usually go to (mostly for ammo) has a shotgun standing behind the counter with the end blown out. Wrong load, got caught in the choke. Luckily the guy was ok.

He covered all of this when I had my safety lesson with him (a pre-requirement for getting your license here) and it frightened the life out of me.

An older gentleman who came to our last shoot asked if I was shooting a 20g. I just told him I didn't want to risk mixing the ammo up, although I felt a little insulted he thought a girl couldn't handle a 12g!
