    Could you please explain to me how your use of a poorly suited powder with a history of problems constitutes a fault of the 40 caliber chambering?

    Thhe powder didn't have a history of problems when I used it...mine was one of the first kabooms with it. The 40 S&W cartridge is a high pressure round, it case design, short and fat, allows powder to ignite and burn faster than a narrower cartridge. I didn't say there was anything wrong with the round...just said it was my first and last 40. But it is a fact there have been more kabooms with the 40 than all other calibers combined.

    I would be interested to know out of what make of guns have had the most 40 kabooms, some barrels do not have a fully supported chamber which causes the kaboom, like Glock. I am a Glock lover....in 9mm but not for 40. It's kinda wierd because HK have been known to have fully supported chambers.
