I put the pictures on only so those who responded immediately could give me advice. I do not wish to discredit anyone until I find out what actually caused the problem. When all is said and done, and I will keep you updated, you can look at it all you want.

I sure am glad the bolt didn't come all of the way back! I think I'm pretty lucky, but I'm also pretty pi$$ed!

Any doubts that the manufacturer will take care of the situation?

It looks funky 'cause it blew up. I think a phone call would be more appropriate as it's more direct. I don't want this to be more drawn out than it needs to be.

I appreciate all of the input. I'd be lost without it. I'll take any advice I can get, and I enjoy all of the theories. I am quite upset about it, and hope that SOMEONE takes care of it.

That is the mark I was referring to. I figured it was the ejector but thought it looked "funny" because of the residue around it. What should I do. Call the manufacturer and explain what happened to the first person i talk to?

First 4 cases. One case has a funny mark. Not sure what it is.

First 4 rounds. I have them, taking pics. I dont see any signs. No loose primers or splits or cracks?

I have not tried to open the bolt and remove the case. I figured that would be a good idea to leave it?

The receiver and barrel don't appear to have any damage i.e. bulging or cracks. I will post more pictures. The main damage is in the bolt and the front of the gun blowing off

I just bought a new rifle FRIDAY JUNE 15, 2012. For now I will not discuss the brand. Its a 243 bolt action. I brought it out to where I shoot to sight it in on Saturday evening, setup my target and got to work. I was shooting factory loaded winchester 80gr soft point ammo. I was setup shooting...

alright thanks a lot :)
