[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2513900, member: 3099"] It was an obvious over pressure. Just use the process of elimination to figure it out. 1) If the barrel is not split, cracked or bulged it wasn't an obstructed bore. 2) Since you cant double charge a .223 case with appropriate powders that wasn't it. That doesn't mean that the wrong powder wasn't used though. I saw pics of a billet upper that grenaded just like that due to HS6 powder getting mixed with his BLC2. (they look similar) 3) If it's not an obstruction, or powder snafu that pretty much leaves you with bullet setback or OOB. Did the round chamber normally? Did you use the FA to chamber it? Have you shot any of that batch of ammo before? I'm still thinking bullet setback upon chambering that round. [/QUOTE]
