One day I will sit down and type out an account of a similar experience to this one that I was witness to.

" The club range convenor pulled the ammo down and found the charges varied wildly from 9gr to 20gr or more.

3) The shooter had bought w540 mid/slow burning pistol powder thinking it was Vihtavouri N540 rifle powder that has a burn rate close to H4350."

Some people should not attempt to load their own ammo.

I didn't read the article but I have to caution you in advance. You can't just throw the "kaboom" term around lightly on huntwa.
There is a strong and significant meaning to that word here.

The kaboom term is restricted for mod use and then requires the keeper of the kaboom to pull the kaboom trigger.

Ps. Kaboom
