[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1756233, member: 26227"] I do not know if I weighed in on this one.. from the pictures, this was a massive over pressure detonation. I have only seen 24 or 25 of these in the last 12 years. One of a few things could have happened. #1, the wrong powder was used. Win 296 looks identical to Varget #2, the powder decayed and turned into effectively Alliant Bullseye. I have seen this happen one too many times up in Montana #3, a squib lodged itself a few inches down the barrel, the powder in the previous case did not burn, the next round lit off and the whole thing decayed from there. From those pictures, these are the only three scenarios I could come up with that I have seen happen. [/QUOTE]
