I read an article of a gun blow-up in the 2010 Gun Digest last night. Guy accidentally reloaded his 30-06 with a pistol powder, HS-6 instead of 4350. Blew the rifle all to bits. The guy wrote the article as a sort of public service announcement on being careful at the loading bench.

Felt bad for the guy, as the rifle had been handed down to him from his Dad. Making a mistake sucks. Losing an heirloom like that had to really hurt. He reported no lasting injuries but was cut up some.
