You mean you can't just fill the case with powder and pack it down with the bullet?
It's an ammo problem. S&W is not going to cover it. Stick with factory loads by American companies.
If something goes wrong, you will at least have some recourse.
Stay away from reloads unless you make them yourself.

Possibility of the gun being among the SN's listed in the 624/629 recall for the cylinders made from out of spec stainless steel?

Notice what else in in the picture?? Looks like someone is "egging" us on.
This one is 2 engineering changes beyond the cylinder recall.
lmao......
Saw this happen to a guy standing next to me at the range. Was in a Judge shooting a Colt 45 cartridge. Cut his hand up really bad where he had to go to the emergency room.
The Colt 45 cartridge had to have had a double powder charge.

Good evening, As I said, I am new to the forum thing. I read this forum quite a it because I find it useful. I didn't notice that the picture was in a mirror. That picture is from my buddies camera. I will post more pictures of the revolver when I get back to my computer. I am on my kids I pad. Trust Me. It happened! I always buy quality rounds and shoot reloads from a trusted person. I shot one round and I didn't see hole in the paper 30 feet away. The recoil felt normal. I cocked the trigger. I fired. It felt like a huge flash and BANG. Something hit me in the side of the head but it was minor. The round next to the one I was firing was severely dented and I dropped it in the grass. I went back to look for that round and other pieces but I can't find them. It is in an old wood yard that is growing in. Anyway, I probably won't have time to check this forum out for a while. Hope some of you don't mind and those of you that get all wound up because someone isn't on the computer all day should get out and do some shooting, hunting, or scouting.

Glad you weren't hurt! Do you think that 1st shot lodged in the forcing cone?
No, those are Hserf Mraf eggs...from a rare Nekcihc bird.
I don't believe anyone got all wound up, but this sort of thing seems to go around on the forums a few times a year, and it's usually either a forum troll or someone posting a thread about what they "heard" vs what actually happened. They come on and post, then disappear, and are here only to try to stir the pot.
I believe you can understand the skepticism.
Glad you didn't get hurt.
I would just add here though, that the term "quality handloads" is a subjective title at best, especially when they are someone else's that you have no quality control over.

Ditto on the OP not getting hurt. I suspect a light load would have not had the same recoil as a standard load, and if one round lodged part way in the forcing cone the cylinder would have not be able to advance to the next chamber. A bullet lodged farther down the barrel with a full power round following it may bulge (or even crack) the barrel, but I think the cylinder would have been spared because the pressure would have vented out the barrel/cylinder gap.
I think the photo points to a major pressure overload, probably by a major powder overcharge or the bullet being pushed back in the case and compression of a standard charge, possibly by recoil from the first round.

Let's not condemn the new guy yet.
Look at his join date - April 2013. His first post came six months later.
Are trolls that patient? Wait six months to start trouble? I doubt it.
By the way, this is NOT the same gun that has floated around here before. That gun had an IL, this one doesn't.
Here's a pic of that one
