Double charge?

 

[Canuck44]

Triple more likely.

Thats partly what I like about 9mm, a double charge is pretty damn obvious

 

[foxytrapper]

Ouch, that sucks.

 

[Gibbs505]

ouch indeed!!

 

[Rivalen]

home made reload or factory reload?

 

[mardig88]

i hope nothing was hurt other than your handgun and finger

 

[ben hunchak]

Progressive reloading machine??

 

[curtmg]

Yeah, that gun right there, it's broke.

 

[ian_in_vic]

That'll be a bugger to get parts for - I hope the finger was the only injury.

 

[jamiejaf]

Instant dewat ouch.

 

[Gibbs505]

Would that be under warrenty?

 

[PeteL]

Thats gotta be a triple charge to do that kind of damage, how does that even happen?!

 

[peter2772000]

Yeah, that gun right there, it's broke.

Thanks fer clearin' that up for us, champ

 

[fdegurse]

time to recycle some metal to the scrap yard...I shed a tear for you man,,

 

[chemo]

yeah i was just wondering actually
does a double charge automatically blows up a 1911?

 

[Canuck44]

Nope....don't ask me how I know this.

Take Care

Bob
ps The NOrinco is one strong gun!

I really doubt I did a double charge as my reload routine involves putting the bullet last then pull the handle then index (550) and that kind of makes a double charge improbable.
but we never know!
just wanted to make sure... and that's using 4,4gr charge of bullseye behind a 200gr LSWC

Well, 4.4 is a full power load, so a double charge would do it. I use a 550, and because you have to index it manually a double charge is certainly possible. IMO you must absolutely positively only ever stop AFTER indexing. That way, if something interrupts you, you've already moved the cartridge on and a double charge is impossible. If you stop without indexing for any reason, and then come back and crank the handle a second time, you have a double charge.

I also leave the die station after the powder measure empty and eyeball the cartridge as I place the bullet into it, to verify the amount of powder.

They say there are only two types of reloaders: those who have had a double charge, and those who haven't had a double charge YET, so don't feel too bad.

Just make damned sure it's your last one!
