Man, you're going to make those Savage supporters blow a circuit! HAHAHA!!!Luckily you had a Rem 700 that contained the pressure and saved you from serious injury, if that had been a Savage action you would have been the victim of a frag grenade
I've heard this about Retumbo before, it's why I don't use it much now. Used to run 94 grains behind 215s and 89.5 behind the 230sIn my 264 WM Retumbo has exhibited massive pressure spikes in cold weather with the same load that was safe in warmer( non-freezing) temps.
........This is quite the learning experience. I hate to learn the hard way. A guy takes pride in his work and I try to pay attention to what I am doing. I had six friends harvest game this year on safe loads I worked up. It is a tough pill to swallow when your rifle is damaged with ammo you load. If any good comes of this it may point out points where I made mistakes and hopefully I and other can learn from it.................
All I did was laugh at his comment. Don't be a butthurt snowflake, people are allowed to have different opinions than you.Swamp and Mud, the 12 year olds are calling for you on FB. Better get back before your mom gets mad.
The only injuries I've seen from a blown case have all been in Rems when the bolt nose blows out and down the race way into your face, usually the bottom metal gets blown off also. A Savage there's just a puff out the holes as pressure drops so fast and the raceway is blocked, drill out the ejector that will be rammed to the bottom, I've never seen any metal come out of them, Winchester usually you get a puff, extract the case, clean the primer punch out out of the bolt. All actions handle it different, the Rem is the only one that unnerves me as I have had parts of one go through my face and I've seen quite a few cracked and broken bolt noses.Luckily you had a Rem 700 that contained the pressure and saved you from serious injury, if that had been a Savage action you would have been the victim of a frag grenade
