Because the gun wasn't properly inspected when a later scene required blanks to be shot at Brandon the pressure fired the bullet and killed him. I think that's the most famous incident of handloading/safe handling gone wrong.

My understanding was that he was being flippant with the handgun and put it directly to his temple faking suicide. He pulled the trigger not knowing the muzzle blast would blow a piece of his skull into his brain and kill him, maybe that was the cover story, who knows for sure.
