[QUOTE="Innovative, post: 218147, member: 527"] JAWZ ........ That's one of the worst cases of "delayed detonation" I've ever seen, and it can be dangerous. This happens when your powder doesn't ignite properly. It's caused by a weak primer or a deteriorated powder. As the powder ignites it burns partially, then the blast re-ignites the rest of the powder - after it's half way down the barrel. That creates rearward pressure as it tries to escape around the outside of your case. Let the ammo manufacturer know, and they'll gladly send you a new box. (At least their lawyers will.) (This is one good reason to use magnum primers whenever using a large amount of powder in huge case.) - Innovative [/QUOTE]
