I had the job of changing out this barrel on an Officer's Model Colt .38 a few years ago; kinda interesting. After I slabbed off the side out of curiosity, the next morning there were raised bumps on the exposed lead cores from compressed air trapped in the hollowpoints! I never did find out who did it; the revolver was purchased at auction by a friend. My only charge to him was that I got to keep the barrel.
Just Damn! If you don't see holes in the target, maybe you should stop firing to figure it out. I've stuck a couple of bullets in barrels over the years, but I've never stacked them like that.
Tip of the hat to The Guncounter Forum.
How did he manage to do that without it blowing up?
