What happen when reload gone bad…
Not sure who owns this but it has been confirmed that the owner is fine. I wonder if the owner loaded a double charge in a S&W500 Magnum cartridge? Is there enough room to do so? Does anyone here reload S&W 500?

I'm sure the bear died laughing.
It's not possible to double charge with the correct powder. I'm guessing they used a powder far too fast for a magnum cartridge.
