[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1756882, member: 60453"] I don't think that was metal fatigue. It blew out from overpressure and ruptured the action housing. That suggests either overpressure from too large a charge, an obstruction, or the use of a really fast powder that created way too much pressure. I'll bet the casing was pretty much frozen into the chamber, too. Don't tell them you were using reloads, either. It probably voids the warranty. [/QUOTE]
