I said I was surprised it fired the .44 and surprised that it handled the pressure. He said it had a lot of recoil but fired the rounds pretty well. When I was sorting through the box of brass, I found four rounds that looked like this:

The word I would use isn't very polite and starts with an "M"

They probably had no idea that those cases where ruptured. Hopefully they won't make that mistake again.
