Yildiz O/U shotgun failure

[HogHQ39]

I'd be interested to hear how it turns out, if you want to let us know...

Here is their response.

I was using browning ammo

You might contact them, overloads are always a possibility.

I hope you kept the offending hull and rest of the box.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the idea... I contacted Browning as well. Here is the shotshell or what was left of it.

Case separation and primer backed out?

Yes, the casing separated and was still stuck in the chambering. The primer also backed out as well.

It looks like the barrels weren't properly soldered to the breech and/or over pressured ammo. That is some SERIOUS case head flow on the spent shell.

Holy crap!

You think high brass might have contained it?

The high brass is just for identification of heavier loads.

I'm still trying to figure out how a primer backs out in an O/U action. That end can't go anywhere. Any chance the case lip is under sized and fit down into the chamber further than it should?

No kidding. That appears to be a chamber issue. Impossible for a fully locked OU with correct chambers to flow the base of the shell like the OP posted.
