Listen, this is how rumors and Internet lies get spread. Elmer blew up 45 Colt guns trying to make them into the "45 Magnum", he may have blown up a few 44Spl guns on his way to the 44Mag but, the poster of the previous statement is misleading someone to think that they were 38spl guns with the 12gr 2400gr load, fallacy, plain and simple.

If it was a 12gr load of a fast powder, yeah, maybe, but it isn't. If it was in a pot metal special, yeah, maybe, but they weren't, they were S&W "N" frames & 45 framed Colts.

I wonder about some folks from time to time! As the youngsters put it: SMH! (Shaking My Head)
