Re: My Holland .500/.465 blew a barrel

The right bbl blew out a 5" to 6" chunk of steel 2 inches if front of the hand guard.
I had done other range sessions working up a load, starting with 86 grains of RL 15, going up in 1 grain increments to 90 grains. This rifle had the original big flat firing pins and at 90 grains the primers started to cause the rifle to be a little sticky to open. There were never any other pressure signs. The best load was 88 grains, and the day the bbls blew was to be my last range session shooting the 88 grain load with Woodleigh softs at 25 50 75 and 100 yards. The bbl blew when I was shooting kneeling at 50 yards.

I had looked the bbls over very good for CFA before he bought the rifle at the DSC. The outside and inside were in very good shape. No pits or cordite burn.
The forend and ribs were not damaged.

I have seen two other of double rifles that have burst the bbls in the same manner. One was a H&H Dominion. I have seen 3 other Dominions that had replacement bbls, but do not know why they were replaced.I know of one Evans rifle that burst with Federal Factory 470,s.

As a result I am doing a little research.
I would like to recieve any information on other double rifles that have burst barrels.

Make of rifle, year built, calibre, load, and how much the rifle was shot with modern loads before the bbls blew.
