    Re: Cracked frame on Smith 669
    Check out this Colt kaboom, even steel frame cracks under pressure. I have heard scandium or Titanium is stronger than steel so I don't know if this is isolated incident or bad design. Nice light gun, however.

    Dude, I hope you don't mind if I should thread that in reloading. I've never seen a catastrophic failure like that. That guy's lucky he ain't sipping his meals thru a straw in a hospital ward somewheres. My Dad told me he overloaded some shells for a guys .303 one time and it brazed the casing to the chamber.

    I have on occasion reloaded various calibers, and often wondered what would happen if I F-ed it up.

    Terrible damage to a nice Colt and one lucky guy. I always double check my pistol loads and weigh the powder every few or so just to check I am throwing powder consistantly.

    This reiterates the NECESSITY of NO DISTRACTIONS while reloading.

    1. No TV
    2. No drinking
    3. No talking on the phone
    4. Generally speaking...no half assed measures.

    Note: I will do case prep work, sorting, and hand priming while watching TV....but NO actual loading!
