Just bought a brick of Widcats to tryout. I shot the first mag, no problem. I loaded back up and left the wife shoot, bang,bang, KABOOM, sounded like double charge. Wife was ok other than being a bit P*@#ssed off. No damage to the gun. The fire case rim swelled and split open. Loaded up shot 2 more mags, gun works fine. I don't believe this is why they call'em Widcats.
Went home got Winchester online, I just found out they have a recall on certain lot numbers of Wildcats. Reason for recall__Double charge. I checked and my ammo was Not on the recall lot. I will be calling Winchester tomorrow to share with them our experience.
This is why you must be careful. Wife and I had a LUCKY day.
