Savage Smokeless Muzzleloader Goes Boom

Got this in an email today. Complete with pics of the guy's hand that was shooting it, but they were a little graphic for posting. Just a reminder to roll your own with care. I think the conversation went something like this...

Think if we put enough powder in that we can get her up to 70,000 fps? Only one way to find out!

Ouch! man I`ll bet that hurt.reminds me of one I seen where a guy left his laser bore sight in the muzzle.
Peeled it like a bananna

Dude....

WOW Looks like he forgot it was loaded and reloaded again. Hope he's OK

From the pics, the guy was fine other than his hand. Looked similar to the results of holding an M-80 too long. They did get it patched up, but it looked like it would not ever heal back to normal.

The bolt held though.

I wonder what was really down that barrel when the trigger was pulled.

 

[MACHINIST]

Sticks and rocks.
