.270 WIN
I get this text message from a fellow range buddy I shot with saying that his barrel on his Blackwater edition 590A1 Mossberg 12 ga just blew up. I asked if he was okay, he was, then sent me these pics of his barrel. Told me he was shooting some Remington sluggers & some 3 inch magnum slugs also. Then this happened, he was sure that nothing got stuck in the barrel.
I know at this time he has contacted Mossberg about this, interesting what could have caused the barrel to blow out like that unless it did get a squib. Could a stuck wadding caused this? Not sure how long he has had the 12 ga shotty but with that being a Blackwater edition shotgun with that heavy walled barrel, should handle the shells he was shooting.
