looks out of battery to me....should be more of the head covered then that by the feed ramp. Round seated too long, or working it's way out as you fired the mag due to not enough crimp...?
 
any cases i have seen split is at the top of the case. I have never seen one split at the bottom. I think there was too much powder in that one. I will dig up a similar picture of a KB with me, and an out of battery discharge. 10mm, Auto Ordanance

Oh man. An incident like that would seriously make me consider finding a new hobby.

LOL,
yeah she still doesnt feel the same. still have no feeling int he baby finger. Slowly coming back, but still hurts if you touch it. Has been a few years now. The missing parts of banana'd brass went into my finger, and some of it they didnt find till a few days later when they did an xray because it hurt so much still. This was a round that got stuck on my buddy firing, and him being new, i grabbed the gun and tried to free it.

I couldnt get the slide to move from the back, and so i grabbed the top of the slide (dont do this) to try to get more leverage. As i pulled back on the slide it went off.

I had four different responses that I wrote and then erased realizing that each would get you attempting a pissing match with me, and although at one time I'd welcome that kind of stupidity, I really don't enjoy "internet #####" length competitions any more. So you win, congrats.
 
I'll weigh in here. About a week ago I had a kaboom with my RFB. Pics to follow (they're marooned on my iPhone).

I had a feed failure (factory ammo) and the action locked up. I ejected the mag and tried again to cycle the action. Looking back on things, in the future I will make sure to EXAMINE the situation in the feedpath before rocking hard on the charging handle, but...

I grabbed the rifle with my left hand near the magwell (big mistake) and rocked the charging handle hard. The extractor tagged the primer of the round which had misfed and detonated. It blew a nice little L-shaped flap about 10mm x 6mm out of my ring finger. It glued back in place nicely and is healing well. The projectile lodged in the throat of the chamber (which was removed by gently dropping an SKS cleaning rod down the barrel about 10 times). Unburnt powder was EVERYWHERE in the rifle. It's clean now and ready to go.

Pics to come in a thread of its own soon.
