FYI: I did read the source material.
I was merely commenting on all the responses pertaining to hand loading your own ammo, which can cause catastrophic results if not performed in a meticulous fashion.
FWIW, anything that carries energetic materials like gunpowder can and will cause spurious results on occasion. I'd say that the gun owner in question has a legitimate beef with the manufacturer of the weapon or with the ammo producer. He should be happy he wasn't using a grenade.
There was a trainee at Fort Leonard Wood in the cycle behind us that got a bad one on the live range. Two soldiers died that day and a Supply Sergeant demonstrated just how fast you can go from E-7 to E-1 by not checking expiration dates.
I'm sure the free fall was very exciting.
Ammo is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.
