[QUOTE="lever-hed, post: 265638, member: 11667"] [FONT=Verdana]Wow that is unfortunate accident. . yo right, a perfect example of why to wear your safety gear, in this case very lucky. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]The only thing I can offer is potentially head clearance was too great or you simply had a microscopic flaw in the case head(remanufactured ammo), for it to burst like that not only on the outside but inside the primer pocket. I’ve had a hornady SST blown primer , among other factory blown primers, but never a ripped case. The vertical tear(s) in the case head versus a typical horizontal tear or ripple (case head separation) is definitely not good and lends itself to brass flaw (obvious as that sounds) but would not be using that stuff in the near future. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]I would check case dimensions and head space of some of the remaining… but I would definitely call or email Hornady and send them a batch of ammo. I’ve dealt with them before and they were good to deal with.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]Good luck, glad your ok[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
