Muzzleloader Blowup..Warning, graphic pics

[Shovelbuck]

I'll start by stating that I'm not trying to bash these guns. If it loads from the muzzle and trips your trigger, that's fine.:way:
Any of you Savage guys know the story on this blow up?
Looks to me to be breech failure or obstruction.
Whatever the cause, the guy is lucky he still has a hand.....sort of.

OUCH is right!! I'm guessing the double load theory is a likely suspect also. I've gotta go now. I'm off to paint a really bright witness mark on my ramrod.

When in doubt, push it out..

Wowwwww... I will definitely keep those images in mind everytime I am squeezing the trigger.. That sucks.

Whoa, that sucks! I'm with the double load theory also, seems an unlikely spot for a breech malfunction.

i'd say double-load i dunno how else that could really happen.....
