Taurus with a problem

Hello all.

Yesterday afternoon I was at my favorite shooting range when one of the shooters had a little problem.

Attached is a photo (I hope) of the problem. I wish the photo was a little more in focus, but I used an autofocus digital camera.

He was shooting a Taurus .357 with commercial reloads. Just a good example of what we don't want to have happen when we reload!

The shooter wasn't hurt, just a small scratch on the back of his right hand. He must be living right!

The top strap is still in the ceiling.

Sure will be interesting to hear what the commercial reloader as well as Taurus have to say about this failure!

Probably Taurus and the reloader will get off "scott-free".

Taurus has a great lifetime warranty, but it stipulates, "No reloaded ammunition"; and the reloader probably has a "use at your own risk" clause...

Would you mind telling us the name of the reloading company?
