[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1381471, member: 4191"] Something strange, as of yet unidentified, caused this - IMO. I am slow to believe that temperature, or copper fouling, alone - or combined - caused the increased pressure that locked up this action. It doesn't look like gas torched out through the case head, unless directly thru the primer. What became of the primer? Did you ever find a primer? Was the bolt face melted/welded to the barrel or action? Hard to imagine that one 87gr charge if Retumbo could vary that much from the rest of the canister. [/QUOTE]
