    There were a number of firearms blown up and attendent shooter injuries associated with CAC hi flyer shotgun ammunition in the late 70s. Compensation was made, the ammo was withdrawn but after extensive testing no definitive explanation could be found. Boxes still turn up in auctions and some of it is probably shot still. Neil Hayes was involved in looking for the cause and has written a few articles over the years on this, and I recall that guns and hunting magazine had a question on it published some time ago.
