[QUOTE="338 win mag, post: 1688073, member: 68629"] I have loaded rounds that jammed bolt, blown primers and pulled the heads off shells. I lived in FLa. then mostly twenty years or more ago. Last year a once fired shell split in half with a mil case 223 with 3.5 grains of Tite Group. That is my standard light load. when i opened the bolt the two parts of the case fell out. No pressure issues just a bad case. Some times it is the brass that's worn out. Temp. Me being young and dumb. I have never had anything go wrong with accuracy after. Nothing has ever negatively affected the safety of firing the rifle again. I have 1,000s of rounds through that 223 rifle and it still puts bullets inside the same hole at 25 yards of the bench. I basically only shoot off hand but use the bench to check zero ever 500 ends or so. Weatherby likes their rounds to go fast and it could have just been a batch of powder that's ran hot and a hot primer on a hot day. [/QUOTE]
