Solid particulates can detonate when they are evenly suspended in air, but inside a cartridge casing is what is really disturbing here. Maybe it was bad powder, I mean really bad powder that has been exposed to some chemical or heat, causing polymerization which transformed the powder into a plastic explosive-like material. Damn, someone oughtta run some experiments in a lab with this. Another reason why I don't play with smokeless. Black powder only and full capacity only. (With .45 Schofield, there is no reason to underload with BP anyway) Maybe smokeless is indeed a passing fad |

I don't know if they weaken before they suddenly fail or not which could lead to a misfire, but it would seem that it could be a cause for concern if using the gun for self defense and/or desiring the utmost in reliability. More so than any perceived frame weakness would ever matter anyway. |
