Ruining ISIS weapons

Anyone here re-load their old ammo?
You know, fill your old 30-06 brass full of IMR 4350 and a 180 gr spitzer
and shoot at dinner?

Had an idea.

ISIS is bragging about us dropping ammo and supplies to them.

Hmmmmm.

Re-load some hot shots....
Pull the bullets and Fill some Russian steel cased 7.62x39 with a high explosive.
Not every one, you know, like one in 20.....
It's easy to pull bullets and re-load a new powder-propellant.

Air drop them accidently in the middle of Isis territory.

Bang bang bang bang BOOM, dead towl head and a wrecked gun.

It will make them fear every shot they fire after a few dozen incidents.

Love the idea.

This can be done with every caliber they use....

I once knew of a fella....who reloaded some .25 auto shells....with a compressed load of 'bullseye' powder...and left them 'here&there' in the seedier side of town....for the gangsta's use...? That fella wasn't me and that fella has been dead for a few years...so, now tell'n the story.

Old Pudfark sez: " many a good pistol has been ruined by a dumb ass and a double charge/load of 'bullseye'.... "

A 7.62x39 full of Bullseye or Red dot, compressed charge of course.....

F'n BOOM!

I knew a guy whom was experimenting with "duplex loads" back 30+ years ago.
he WRECKED a Remington Model 30 in 30-06 when pressures
unexpectly hit the stratosphere.
Burped the barrel and bent both locking lugs.
I cut the barrel and milled out the breech before the bolt would turn.
Only the trigger group was salvagable, even the stock was wrecked.

Lucky for him there are few stronger firearms than that old M30.
Remington M30 is the civilian version us the US M1917 bolt action rifle.

For those of you that never heard of a duplex load, it is a charge
of two types of smokless powder, typically a very slow burning
powder like 4831 with a faster powder like 4227 or a pistol
powder in a compressed layered charge. The goal being extreme velocities.
Very dangerous game to play, but some wild claims were made by the fools
that played with the idea.

Your memory may be better'n mine HH?
I recall, I believe, that the original .454 Casull factory loads were at one time?
Duplex or Triplex? Seems, not many of them experimenters....can count to ten....anymore. ;)
