Had these two catastrophic failures last week. Never had a failure like this before.
One blew the magazine out the bottom. It severely got my attention.
29.1 gr AA 2520. Tula primer. 123 AMAX. LAPUA CASE.
30.9 gr CFE. CCI 450 primer. 123 SMK. LAPUA CASE.
7 to 8 firings on the cases and I have got some split necks recently.
I have over 2000 rounds fired through this Upper.
I have sent the Upper back to the manufacturer to get it "checked out" as I am very hesitant to fire it now but I do believe it is the brass.
My question is, how or when do you judge to stop reloading certain cases to prevent a repeat of this situation?
