[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1688094, member: 66917"] Well, for some reason you fired an over pressure round. Maybe it was the heat maybe it was that ammo. It's not unheard of for factory ammo to be hot. It's happened recently with Hornady ammo in 6.5 PRCs. That popped primer and that ejector mark are both very strong signs of over pressure. One thing you need to keep in mind when working in hot weather is shoot way slower (put some time 5-8 mins) between shots. If I have a hot load that makes an extractor mark on a case like that I toss out the case as I've found the primer pockets tend to be stretched. You may have had a little gas go into the bolt so pulling it apart and inspecting it might not be a bad idea and definitely contact Weatherby. [/QUOTE]
