Something to keep in mind is that when a double suffers damage of some sort, it usually seems to end up being someone/something elses fault.
Blame the bullet type, the powder type, the old weaker barrel steel or whatever.
Very rarely are blow-ups or damage to doubles fully examined or reported, and this could in some instances be because it might highlite other issues, which may point toward less than ideal reloading/shooting/gun maintainence practices.

...and, my humble opinion is that I suspect there just may be many "fine doubles" that after the use they have been subjected to and/or age and/or original materials of construction should be shelved with their chambers welded shut, because if not, and if they continue to be shot, may at some point "let go", and when such a gun lets go with a Woodleigh or a Barnes Banded Solid, the bullets shouldn't be blamed, no matter how much money the fellow paid for the gun. Just because it's beautifully made and frightfully expensive doesn't mean it's safe.

In the beginning the 303 doubles was concidered to have a very short lifespan as to problems with the metall to withstand the high pressure and force it was subjected. And in high temerature
countries it was even shorter.

So you are right there are a lot of guns thats on the edge of being busted, but the quistion still is if the barnes will bush it faster over it.
