While shooting my Whitworth in 375 H&H my floor plate opened dumping the cartridges on the ground. Luckily, it was while shooting a blesbok and not something bigger.

The reason I went to my Whitworth was because I took a shot with my 35 Whelen on the Springfield action, quickly reloaded and walked to the downed animal saw that it was dead and unloaded, leaving the bullet stuck in the rifling. Of course we were in a remote camp, with no cleaning rod handy. A segmented cleaning rod now goes in my day pack.
