This is correct.Cast Bullets, they should also not use the W296 and be propelled at 1800fps correct?
What does/did the fired primer look like? Did it look roughly like a factory load? Curious.Okay, I actually managed to shoot 10 rounds of 420grain hard cast with 10grains of trailboss. They shoot super nice and kicks barely like my 357. As I said "meh, not too bad" I put a 350grain FTX with 39grains of w296 in (just above min load according to Hornady). Pulled the trigger and though I had a grenade explode in my hand. The concussion was UNREAL. I have never experienced anything like that, so much that I checked if I still had all my fingers. I was behind our car as my wife sat in the car, she opened the door "are you okay??? it shook the entire car!!! wtf".
unfortunately, the seam of my repair cracked again and I have to address this differently now but HOLY COW, It rattled every nerve and every bone in my body. Insane, absolutely insane. How does this go if you need it and don't have ear pro? At least you won't hear the bear anymore???
Have the gun checked by a gunsmith or the very least measure/check everything yourself.Crazy is, they all looked very flat. Which is odd. The ones with the trail boss didn't look any different, also very flat.
Anyway, I guess everyone makes mistakes at somepoint. I won't be using w296 anymore for anything pure lead. Im glad nothing more happened and I didn't get hurt. Gonna take apart the bullets I still have and gotta figure out how to fix this Revolver...
Have you considered contacting Taurus, pleading 'insanity' and maybe they will go 'easy' on you on an replacement barrel and any other repairs needed?unfortunately, the seam of my repair cracked again and I have to address this differently now

Missed it, fixed it!It might work but I'm pretty sure he said it was Taurus.
Missed it, fixed it!
To bad it's NOT a S&W - he would most likely have better luck.Aw man -- it cracked me up! ;-)
OK, I'll say it. STOP shooting this gun you've done obvious damage to it and who knows what unseen damage there is. Even a Taurus is a precise made high pressure containment device. Fixing a blown up barrel with a hammer and silver solder is a fools mission and will only get worse, not better. Next since you obviously know more about reloading than any reloading manual STOP reloading right now and stick to factory ammo before you hurt yourself or someone else badly.
