[QUOTE="crapsguy, post: 4327831, member: 45160"] FYI = I took this rifle to a gunsmith/friend and it was apparently a case of SEE = an unexplained pressure excursion which has often blown up guns. "It is associated with markedly reduced loads of very slow powders" although I was using same load of H335 = same powder, bullet, etc I have used for 1000s of rounds -- and the bullet hit the target as expected???? from what I understand this is very rare and nearly impossible to duplicate I would post a link for some info if I knew how search for Secondary Explosion Effect (SEE) if you are interested the only sign of damage was the primer pocket was blown out to the size of a large primer and the original primer/metal was gone -- after forcing the bolt up and out of battery the rifle seems to be fully functional and fine go figure..........
