Re: OSR, Double Damage and Barnes' Response

I do not think it is fair to categorically blame Barnes for their bullets in this sense. If the dimensions of their bullets are compatible with the internal dimension of the barrel shooting them, they'd be safe.
I can't agree with the above portion of your premise. As I told you, both of the rifles I referred to were slugged. The Barnes bullets used in both actually measured very slightly under groove diameter of the bores in both. OSR occurred quickly in both.
Did you check neck relief {OD of loaded rounds} and chamber length, OAL and land origin? Is it posible the bullets were pressed into the rifling before firing?
Also, are you certain chambers were concentric and not cocked or seated bullets misaligned in some way that the bullets were presented to the leade in misalignement with it?
