I was asking my GS and he told me there is no record of a bullet blowing up a tubular magazines from a bullet due to recoil and he has been around for years . not that I would tell someone to try doing some thing I don't know for fact
Hunt up a copy of the September 1968 issue of Guns and Ammo for a picture of a Model 71 in .450 Alaska which suffered a magazine tube detonation and injured the shooter.
The load was 60.0 grains of IMR 3031 behind a 500-grain cast bullet. Three cartridges went off in the magazine.
