How do you determine that a gun like that would be safe to shoot again? I'd think an xray or something like that would be in order.

There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big! Mine was free range in the big pen and was not a breeder buck. Why does it have to be twisted around??

Bad handloads ?? Don't see how it survived. I've seen the bbls split and top strap rolled back from squib loads Yeah they were handloads ... I think his recipe and process needs to be re-evaluated also

My guess would be.... All the rounds were low power, reduced recoil loads. Combined with the fact that a revolver will vent the pressure by the cylinder. That's the only reason somebody didn't lose a hand. Those are the only reason I can figure as well the gun didn’t come apart in his hand. Specially with it being an alloy frame

I wonder if you could get it hot enough to melt the lead without hurting the gun Thought crossed my mind. But I didn’t want to risk heating the alloy frame

Yeah, with a Taurus I'm not sure I'd go to the trouble to try to salvage it in usable condition.

From the pics it looks like there’s as unfired load. If it is would you disassemble and let us know the weight of the powder charge ??

158gr jacketed lead flat nose bullet sitting on top of 2.4gr of Trail Boss powder. Per Hodgdon the starting load is 2.7gr for. 158 LSWC. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/tgVdGL0D/96182-D84-C5-C9-4-B78-ABA2-643-D361-E0-A0-B.jpg)

Gundoc, is that a composite pistol? No, it's a alloy (aluminum) frame

From the data it appears there’s a good reason for the squib loads
