Wow - looking at the image, I actually had to go get the cartridge and see for myself. No, it's not your eyes - it's a camera-angle artifact. Here's a better view. I did not use the wrong cartridge... :thumbup:

The 6:00 theory is supported by (1) the orientation of the blowout that is in line with he firing pin (not perpendicular to it), and (2) the fact that the magazine was forced out. I forgot to mention this last bit until this 6:00 thing came up, making me envision the blowout pressure going...

In this case I do, as I'm the original owner. I think 3rd Gen - Ser.# EZW... Bullet was FMJ.

Fully stock gun. No mods/replacement parts at all.

Like others indicated - there's more than one possible cause. My intent in asking it here was not to get a forensic answer - more like tapping into the (vast) collective knowledge to have a probable reason, definitely more probable than what I would have guessed myself. Also, no - I have no...

Actually there's a (very common) 4th cause here as well: the driver.... :(

For those who asked - it was a Glock 19. Sorry, I should have mentioned it in the original post. Fun fact: I had to Google the term "fired out of battery", even though I have a history of serving in field artillery and that's where the term originated from. Once again - you guys have proven to...

Ouch.... Sorry about your injury :(

Would you say that is a result of overcharging, or a fatigued case? a damaged case? (I did not reload it myself.) Other than that, the damage is minimal: some burnt powder residue on the glove and a small singe mark... Cheers, Zevi

I just talked to them - Alethea and Mark - and placed an order; the nicest people! There's even a chance that I might even be in the area in time to stop by and pick the holster.

Is the owner named mark? I just watched a video about him taking ownership of Lobo. Great story about a salt-of-the-earth American family; I like their story and if the product is what I'm looking for - I'd love to give them my business!

Thank you for these pointers! Andrews definitely has some great-looking stuff, a bit more than I planned to spend, though. Mitch Rosen is great - I have an OWB for my P220 which I love, but all their shoulder rigs seems to be for autos. I like the Lobo...

Greetings! I am looking for a shoulder holster for my Colt Python 4.25". My search came up with the following candidates: Bianchi X15 (like THIS) Craft Holsters (HERE) Diamond D Leather (HERE, although the Python is not listed; I wrote to them asking about it) Galco (MC II, although they list...

My apologies if this is not the right place...

I will definitely try the #5 as well. For the first reload, following good suggestions given here, I wanted to maximize the ability to visually confirm the amount of powder. The #7 calls for 7.0gr., while #5 is 5.3gr. Not a huge difference, but easier to see. Thanks!

I'm using the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Yeah, several others suggested that too - I'll try. I have the 50th edition and really like it too! Thanks!

Many, many, MANY thanks to all of you who took the time and patiently provided such helpful pointers, advice and other suggestions. You helped making my first reloading venture safer and more self-assured! My first 10 home-made rounds seem to have been a success :thumbup: . For a (rough)...

:cuss: ... just kidding! - Flamed? Never from me. In my view, any suggestion that is given with a genuine intention to help deserves thanks. So far the advices given to me here, as well as other posts I have seen here are nothing but candid and helpful. To your point - I have a digital...

You're braver than me; I was afraid to ask... :(

I think I understand what you mean that the Longshot should be best to start (largest amount of case filling), but neither the Hornady or Lyman books list load data for the Longshot with the 115 gr. FMJ 9mm bullet; I could only find it on Hodgdon, where that powder is indeed at the top of the...
