For all new and experienced reloaders here is a link to another forum with the report of a blown up firearm with some graphic pictures of hand damage.
The gun was a Marlin Guide Gun in .45-70, was shooting reloads, the shooter was injured but nothing permanent, the cause is under investigation but looks like probably a double charge of 2400.
Here is the link to Cast Boolits Forum, currently at 9 pages of replies some of which have links to other stories:

Always be very careful when reloading!
