Was shooting my 22LR dedicated AR today and I had a case blow out the side. After clearing, I shot two more rounds just to make sure everything was functioning. I picked up the other cases and noticed they were bulged. I went back to another spot I was shooting earlier and noticed those were bulged too.
Upper: Chiappa 22LR upper
Ammo: CCI mini-mags 40g and Aguila Interceptor 40g. Both considered high velocity 22.
Pics:
Side blown out.
Case bulge. Seems to be the worst where the extractor cut out is.
Just to check the ammo I fired a few out of a Rem 12A. They looked fine.
Thoughts? Something wrong?
