fingers284, not theory about Lapua brass quality as proved around the world for years by BR(about 100% useage) and other top shooters. Pressure is never exactly equal and there is no doubt to us that ganderite and tiriaq hjve offered expert opinion as to what occured, i.e. irrelevant to brass quality!!

You have a good camera. Please put a round in the chamber and take a picture to show us how much the case protrudes. It will help other recognise a dangerous situation.

Ganderite is right...Truly words to stay alive by...A saying that the people who taught me to fly drilled home...Equally important on the farm and reloading etc. etc...

That's a bad blown case, glad to see you obviously came out unscathed...I have had partial head separation from reloading brass too many times but the brass still sealed the gas in the chamber...With this type of blow out, there must have been a lot of gas escape from chamber and out of the action...Would you care to elaborate on what you experienced?
This sort of event could cause a guy to flinch for a while I would imagine.
