S&W 686 3" & reloading fail

[Mikej]

He pulled a bunch of his reloads and found 2 more double charged.

Thanks for the extra info Tim, sobering experience for sure and reaffirms the necessity to follow certain steps, every time.

i don't/haven't yet loaded any magnum rounds, but I would think that a double charge would surely show in a .357 magnum cartridge.

I was thinking a double charge of Bullseye or possible Unique wouldn't be to good on any revolver.

Wow that's sobering. I have been reloading for almost forty years and have never had anything like that happen but it is a great reminder not to get complacent.

Had this come into the shop I worked at.
Owner claimed factory ammunition.
Colt said faulty ammo, Winchester claimed faulty firearm.
Not sure how it all worked out.

It worked out like this. I take full responsibility for saying, that the "buck" stops ........ over there someplace but not here, definitely not here and not with me.
