[QUOTE="Littlehud, post: 1709951, member: 85418"] My guess would be a reduced load. The primer goes of and starts the bullet down the barrel, but the powder delays in igniting. When it does, the bullet has stopped and is now an obstruction in the barrel. The powder explodes and causes EXTREME pressures! Almost did that with my .223 years ago playing with reduced loads. Luckily it only destroyed the brass and blew gas out the vent hole. [/QUOTE]
