What would make the two shells to the side blow up?

S&W M629 44 mag I believe.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Happened to my neighbor once with a .357. Lucky no one got hurt in his case.

I'm careful and I've still forgot to move the funnel and tried to double charge a case, in my case I've been lucky enough that it always happened when loading a slow powder in a rifle case that couldn't hold a double charge so I've always caught it.
Here's a pic of a friends ruger 45LC after firing a double charged cartridge.

Here's the text that came in the email with the pics:

WONDER WHAT THAT LOAD WAS!

A guy came into our department the other day to ask a favor. He had a S&W 629 that he wanted to dispose of after a mishap at the range. He said there was a loud bang when he tested his new load and the gun smacked him in the forehead, leaving a nice gash. When the tweety birds cleared, this is what he saw.....

May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.
