First time ive had this happen, no real clue what caused it....or more specifically alot of variables involved.
Handloads, fired brass sourced online, branding is blazer brass. Id have to ask the load, but it was mid range at best with w244. Velocity running 1100 with 115s.
Blew open at the case head rim junction (these look thinner than ive seen there), upper right side where the extractor grabs.
Only damage to the gun was the extractor got launched.
Bullet underneath was scored pretty deep, but the magazine didnt launch or even take any damage.
With the high ejection port my hand got stung and covered in carbon, but otherwise no damage. Id guess just sooty gas vented down between the slide and frame.
Unfortunately the pictures didnt come out real great, and i dont have the case to take more.
