Geelong Advertiser - Man injured in rifle mishap

The issue here is believed to be overloading.
338 lapua, purchased reloads
Please anyone with reloads that are not your own check with your supplier before using them.

The story is not specific, what I can say is the bolt left the gun causing the injuries.

I think we heard about this guy receiving facial injuries a few days ago. I hope the guy is alright.

I think this is the same one - Man suffers facial injuries at Eagle Park Range Little River

The bit about him having purchased reloads is news though.

Not something I'm keen on :(
