W296 and H110 give poor burning qualities when downloaded too much.Squib loads can result.Guns blown up?Where and when?Be specific.I don't think you can.

I probably can get a pic of a bulged barrel because a friend of mine, like many here, not formally educated in powder manufacturing, thought he knew more about a powder than the manufacturer. Altho he knew of the warnings issued by Hodgdon about downloading H110, he had "safely" been doing it for years. I figure he was just lucky till, about a year ago when he tried to send another bullet down the barrel with a squib still stuck in it. Of course, now it's all Hodgdon's fault.
Again, if you desire not to heed the warnings by those that obviously know more than you do, fine, that is your option, and it's your gun and your azz. But don't recommend to others to follow your lead.
