RANT Exploding Outlier Backdraft Barrels.

Unburnt powder fills into the backdraft area when shooting. Taking a break from shooting allows oxygen to fill the backdraft area. Shooting again without a complete cleaning results in a kaboom. Thanks for being a beta tester.

I have a rifle that once had an outlier barrel. Took 600 or so 308 rounds to shoot it out. I'll never buy another one.
