Gas venting and punctured primers...
16/02/05 04:16 PM

I have never experienced it myself but when browsing another forum I saw a post on a punctured primer in a Winchester Model 70 and the shooter is pretty confident he would have lost an eye if he wasn't wearing a pair of glasses.

I am curious if anyone else has experienced this sort of nasty gas venting, and if so in what type of rifle. Since reading the post I'm a bit apprehensive of some of the rifles I own even though primer punctures are rare occurances in the past one hundred years.

I'd like to know if anyone who has experienced the gas vent in use has had the gas blow straight back or down or elsewhere, and which rifles they were shooting at the time.

Richard.
