    Sometimes folks bo bo on what powder is in the hopper. Here is an article about such a mistake:

    Very easily depending on the powder. Some slower burning powders can compress without exceeding pressure. But a faster burning powder with a bulk density that doesn't fill the case up can easily go way over pressure.

    I didn't word that correctly , what I was referring to was what was the odds of that severe of a ka boom with powders normally used ,say 1 grain over max for 2200 or 3220 in a 6.8 not using the wrong powder . I know overload is bad but I know under load can be worse sometimes of course any load with wrong powder is very dangerous .

    Sh!t! Never even thought about more volatile powder. Yeah, LOL! That'll bite back!

    Kinda odd how his trigger finger was spared. The rest looks like he finger banged a blender. : owie:

    Back in the day our guys slipped in behind the lines and replaced a few rounds in VC ammo dumps with Exploders they even went so far as duplicate the looks of the original powder in case the VC caught on . The VC developed bad flinching problems thinking their gun may be next . For some time the AKs and ammo both were suspected and it worked well until the New York times got ahold of it and tipped off the enemy .

    The AR does a pretty good job of protecting the trigger finger. You'll usually get some soot on it, but the upper is a lot weaker than the lower and most of the pressure will exit from the upper and mag well. Usually the upper is trashed but the lower stays intact.

    Yeah, you'd think it'd do as well protecting the other three. How can a linear force leapfrog the first finger?

    I had a slam fire at a highpower match and had a High Master tell me a slam fire was due to a high primer and was not possible otherwise. He was wrong and I proved it with primed cases dropped in the chamber and bolt released in the standing position. I am unable to remember the primer manufacturer. I switched to CCI military primers and never had a problem after that.
