I like shooting the bigger bore wheel guns when I have the chance. My buddy has a 44 mag I like shooting off at steel plates. You have to have some strength and technique to do it. Not just giving someone who doesn't have a clue something like that always seems to end badly.

Also, notice the gas escaping from the muzzle, but it appears the gases aren't escaping through/at the forcing cone but the rear of the cylinder and possibly through the hammer. I don't see any flash where I expected it to be.

To what do you attribute those issues?

I don't know, I've never seen the flash come from the back of the cylinder and not the forcing cone area on a revo

Maybe an overcharged reload and the case split?

I noticed that as well, and wondered if there might have been a pierced primer. Don't know if it would cause a gas escape of that magnitude or not. Maybe the split case theory is right.

I though about the primer too...maybe an off center strike and primer popped on one side?
