      For some reason I was thinking the powder was purchased at a gunshow/garage sale. That was a new can off the store shelf?

            if it was in fact 7828 and not a bad powder or something it couldnt have been the primary issuse the max load for 165gr is listed as up to 80gr and that is at 105% load density i think you would be hard pressed to put enough of that powder in to cause over charge.....

            where are you getting your brass: range pick ups, bought used, bought new, fired from new ammo, fired from remanufactured ammo? how many times has said brass been loaded?
            Punctuation is for the weak....

              I have still heard nothing from Savage arms, when I call I get told it is in line awaiting a gun smith to look at it. I hoping no new is good news, and it would take them less time to tell me that it not there problem, the it would for them to do something about it!!!

                I am looking for 6.5 Grendel load data for AR-comp, this is what I got from Alliance

                Alliant has no tested load data for the Grendell. Looking to the Hornady #10 reloading manual, they also have no tested load data utilizing the Alliant AR-Comp propellant. The Alliant propellant listed from Hornady is the Reloder-15.
                The data in the above mentioned manual is copyrighted and you will need to either contact Hornady or purchase the manual.

                  Just have to ask.

                  What does this have to do with your 300 WM blowing up?

                  May want to move it to what ever thread it belongs.

                      Ok a little more follow up. I talk to the head of failure analysis at savage arms this week. He need my permission to cut the rifle up to send it out for metallurgy analysis. He said " thoe it looks like the failure was caused by over pressure there are lost of fractures on the bolt and bolt face , and chamber that can not be a count for with out further inspection.
                      They also want FFL information from me to send me a new fire arm. Sound really promising. But I not counting that chicken untill it is in my hands. He ask what I wand caliber wise I opted For 308 300 win mag is just to expensive to shoot lol

                        Update… so far upon taking this apart we have found what we believe to be compound from the stock bedding possibly that you spoke to me about. This foreign substance was photographed in the threads, on the locking lugs and around various surfaces of the bolt face.

                        We continue to examine but so far the theory is that this compound may have been a major issue because there was so much of it.

                          This was and email I revived from savage Friday. The funny thing is this rifle was glass needed in 2000 and has had most of the rounds ever fired threw it after that point. HU kind of funny to me

                            Is there any chance you left a patch in the bore?

                              At this point I guse anything possible. I uasualy thero but how knows . The think savage sent me about finding glassbeding compound on the bolt and locking lugs is just ridiculous.

                                Not surprised Savage is sending you a new rifle, the analysis they are doing on your rifle is invaluable.
