Is it worthwhile to add vent holes to either the side of the receiver or along the bolt stem on actions that do not have them? Never blown anything. The chili is another story though.
I did split a target barrel on a Ruger mk II. I was surprised a 22 could split a heavy barrel. A friend was shooting it and I said wait something is wrong, he almost touched off a third round with the split barrel, that could not have been good. He was wearing glasses but not gloves. Had a no powder load go half way down the barrel and then stick and the next shot split the barrel.
"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
