RE: rifle detonation again
Don, I'm also not interested in touting "bogus info" The 25 gr mentioned may potentially be 50%+ case fill granted. But it is within range of typical 45-70 loads of up to 28 grs. listed in some data which is what was on this old geezer's mind. That aside please is there any factual info yet on the actual load used in mishap. Just a break down of another cartridge from the unfortunate person's loading box, at proper time of course ?
I do not load 5744 in 45-70s myself but sought Falin's info for the ballistic tables which have helped predict useful velocity VS sight correction data. I have employed other smokeless loads for decades in complete safely however. I agree there is null rewards in trying to hotrod rifles in these large for caliber BP cases. Recoil alone is a self limiter for me so the same velocity in 45-70 as black powder with accuracy is the goal here. An underlying fact here is reloading cartridges requires common sense, knowledge and good safe practices.
