on a lighter note...

Has anyone ever seen the episode of myth busters where they tested this. Allegedly some man tried this on his pickup, then got shot in private parts and wrecked.

If you noticed, the bullet stayed in place and the case ruptured. Same if you throw a loaded cartridge into a fire, the case will rupture while the bullet will stay close to the same location where it was in the fire. It does this because the bullet is heaver than the case and stays relative in the same location as to what the case does, it may move some but not much.

That is true, especially with small ammo held in place. But if some idiot chucks a 375 H&H into a fire pit I happen to be sitting by, I will not be hanging around to document the redundancy of the theory. ;)
If a bigger cartridge blows out on the other side of the case from my position, there’s a good chance I’ll be wearing it…and it might just be a little warm.

I don't even hang around when they throw a 22 Lr into a fire. Flying brass isn't my idea of a fun time

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
