[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2995614, member: 122164"] I had a case head separation on a cone bolt custom action. There were no exhaust ports on the sides of the action nor in the bolt body. Since the breach face was cone-shaped, this sent the entire force of the gases back into my face and the bolt body. Gases going through the firing pinhole, broke the third lever in my 2 oz trigger, which is not uncommon with pierced primers, also. One second I was looking through the scope, the next second, I was sitting on my butt on the floor. My body involuntarily reacted to the massive gases coming back in my face, and recoiled so fast, that I did not even realize the action was going on. I was lucky that I was wearing safety glasses at the time, or I would have lost an eye. This freaked my neighbor out who was shooting beside me. Ever since this instance, I have had exhaust vents put in my customs that do not have them, especially if they are cone bolt actions. Some Custom action makers have sidestepped a major safety issue in favor of marketing the clean lines of the action and bolt. [/QUOTE]
