Ever Double Charge Win 231?

[Defcon Shooter]

I think I had a double charge of Win 231. Don't believe it was a bore obstruction since gun never failed until it locked up. New threaded barrel on the way from Ed Brown. Get to drag out my files and alignment tools lucky me

looks like a light charge, bullet in the rifling, then a shot behind that.
almost did it once, sold my Lee loadmaster after that and got a dillon

I agree with the first part and same story here on 2nd part

Thats ugly. I'm going with the squib load as well as the cause looking at the way the barrel came apart.

That is possible but my experince with squibs in 1911's is the pistol fails to extract and you tap rack and boom. Had no malfunctions. Unless projectile stuck and the gun functioned??

When you replay it in your mind, do you remember the round prior to explosion hitting target?

Squib meaning a possible light charge, like gunbuffer mentioned that would travel part way in the barrel. As we both know primer squibs typically just push the bullet out of the case, and the gun won't cycle.
Looking at the overpressure signs the obstruction had to be somewhere around the muzzle it appears to me.

That is possible if it was just enough powder to have the gun cycle but still have a stuck projectile.

I've seen exactly that happen with a cz75, Taurus pt809 and a Ruger sr9c. None are 1911s as you know but I bet it's possible.

Thing is... a squib completely blocks the barrel, allowing much lesser amounts of gas to still pressure up enough to cycle.

Just my two cents.
