If it is for real you've got to love a trier.

If at first you don't succeed, keep doing the same thing over and over again till you do?

Wonder why the shooter wasn't puzzled about the gun becoming muzzle heavy, never mind the other signals like no hole in the target, funny sounding report, recoil etc. etc.

Some people just shouldn't shoot.

9 soft lead bullets plus three jacketed.

Wow.

Where'd the barrel come from?

A Remington 1858's one?

One lucky SOB! :roll: I'd like to think the original shooter who was using the lead bullets handed the gun over to his friend and said, "See if you can get this bloody think to work with your copper jackets!" :lol:

Is it a muzzle loader then? :lol:

..

I will see your 12 bullets and raise to over 25! :goodjob:

If this last pic is for real that is one strong barrel!

I've actually seen this happen to a Taurus .357mag LBR.

The owner was looking to sell it to another member and allowed him to try it out using some (the owners) hand loads. He fired a number of times and couldn't see a hit on the target, then bang, the final round fused the cylinder and barrel.

It turns out that the owners reloading press was I. His attic and the powder tube hand a build up of powder that stopped full loads getting into the case

I've heard of this occurring with some very downloaded slug shells too.
