will admit it when we screw up. I did it about 2 months ago. I was testing a hot load in my 378 GNR encore for my lion hunt coming up now in 6 weeks. I had put a new scope on the new barrel a few days before and thought I remembered tightening it down. At the shot the scope, base and all came back and hit me dead in my left eye. The whole left side of my face was blue and puffy for almost 2 weeks. I am fairly sure I cracked my cheek bone as it hurts to touch it even today, 2 months later.
So anyone that has shot much has done it. It just sounds better to know you did it with a little blood and I wish I could have seen it. At least I did it with no one watching, dummy.
