My Holland .500/.465 blew a barrel
31/03/05 03:45 PM

I feel like I have lost a best friend

. As NE450#2 was helping me finish development of a load for my Holland a 5 inch piece of the barrel blew off the side of the right barrel just in front of the forend. Fortunately his hand was not there and no one was hurt. I know NE will want to comment on this and it would be good to know if anyone has heard of a correlation between blowouts and doubles made before WW1. I believe he was using Reloader 15 and he was using Woodleigh softs it was not a high powder load he was following all the specs, but it just gave out. I know this happens from time to time but it sure hurts when it happens to you. I will be buying another double so I want to find out as much as I can if there are any time periods that have shown a higher incidence of barrel failure, if you have any specific information please post it.

I would like to add that George Caswell with Champlin Arms was great about the whole thing and promptly refunded my entire purchase price.
