[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 2139278, member: 104268"] No squib or obstruction (all shots hit steel up to and including Kaboom!). I'm familiar with "over pressure", but never had something of this magnitude. Primer pocket was traumatized for sure. The fact that the primer was left sitting against the breach face, and the downward blast from the back of the case, made me wonder about out of battery. I was present for an out of battery kaboom! in an M74 (8mm AK), and that had similar results to this, with the back end of the case blasted out and down. I see your point, but you can step off your horse... Over the course of 30 years, I have fired ~10,000 rounds of ammo in various calibers, without issues, from this same fellow. He's a bit of a nutter, but also has a gun store, reloads semi-commercially, and was for a long time the most expert person I knew regarding firearms. I now know a lot more than I did, but it's not like I found an open soda in an airport bathroom and drank it. This was just various ammo in bags and boxes, accumulated over the years, that I compiled to "get rid of" by plinking... [/QUOTE]
