[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1604913, member: 75451"] Sorta along the “What” issue! THIS WAS OPERATOR ERROR!! When doing some load development for my wife’s . 338 WM and my .375 AI, I learned a valuable lesson. “Do Not Have Multiple Boxes of Different Calibers Open on the Bench at the Same Time”!! I was testing for groups across the chronograph. I loaded a round into my AI, and slowly pulled the trigger! Recoil was almost non-existent, the chronograph pretty much exploded, and the ejected brass was a short, straight-walled case. I was a bit confused for a bit, not yet figuring out what had happened! My first thought was, that I was seeing a case separation. In a panic, I pulled the bolt and attempted to see the remaining brass stuck in the chamber. Finally....I thought to look at the cartridge headstamp! No longer in a panic about my rifle, I could sit down feeling really stupid....and “morn” the loss of my chronograph! :( memtb [/QUOTE]
