Another one bites the dust.

This is what happens when you do not pay attention when loading and shooting subsonic loads. If you don't see it hit take the time to run a cleaning rod down the bore to make sure you didn't stick a bullet in the bore. You can push out one bullet with a cleaning rod. Two bullets you can usually get out with some work. Three or more just replace the barrel. It does make for a neat display.

It is actually one of my 338 THUMPERS but I thought it would be a good reminder for everyone. I don't know what load he was using in it when this happened.

I am going to put it in a shadow box and display it prominently in the shop so customers will hopefully take it as a warning to pay attention so they will not ruin a perfectly good barrel.
