[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1709380, member: 18849"] Admiring your honesty, as we all make mistakes and learn by them. In this case maybe we all learned a little. The case I mentioned earlier working up a load in the 221 fireball with .5 grain increments (too large for small case to start with) went from flattened primers to wyd happened in one step up. Yours being possibly 3-5 grains over book max in say a "tight" rifle probably led to the case failure. Thanks should be to the good advice and experience found in all these posts, hope we all learned from it. Happy shooting (try not to flinch)! [/QUOTE]
