Some years ago when I first started loading for the .38 SP I managed to stick three bullets in the bore. It was a combination of factors, but mostly due to my own stupidity. I don't recall the bullet, maybe 158 gr. lead, but it was a "manual load", IIRC 2.7 - 2.8 grs. Bullseye. Bulged the barrel, but fortunately the frame was OK.


You are saying you stacked three shots in one barrel at one incident? As in fired a shot and the bullet stuck in the bore and then unaware of that you fired two more shots stacking one bullet behind the other and other?


Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
