I'm capable of being wrong, but I'm not wrong about this.
Firearm manufacturers shouldn't be held liable for the use of handloaded ammo.
It's something that's totally beyond their control.
If the handloaded ammunition has no part to play in the gun failure, then the rifle manufacturer would be at fault. But considering his loads were intentionally and repeatedly over published maximums, I think he needs to tip his lawyer big time for getting a 60% settlement, though maybe it's a case of Thompson should be firing their lawyers.
Can Quickload guess at an estimated pressure level for this?
