[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1709181, member: 94491"] I dont think it was a simple over pressure round due to reloading techniques--but just as an FYI for further reference --winchester cases are listed as holding an average of 44.6gr of h2o, and nosler holding 42.6, lapua 45.1 gr-- I could check a few more when home if needed as I think I have hornady, FC and RP on hand, but it shows that not all case capacities are equal and individual loads should be worked for each brand of brass I really doubt this was the problem though as guns are proof tested to at least 1.5-2x the saami max pressures --what you encountered was wayyyy over that pressure [/QUOTE]
