Had a gentleman bring me this box of Rangemaster 9mm ammo saying the ammo is dangerous. He had fired 12 rounds and 4 ruptured like this.
He claims it was fired out of a Smith and Wesson M&P Proformance Center . I fired 20 other rounds in the box with 2 other guns and couldn’t replicate the failure. In my opinion his feed ramp is cut too deep causing the cases to fail. But I’ve only ever seen this in 10mm. Figured I’d throw this interesting failure up and see what the collective here can figure out.
Edit: He also says the only indication he had of something wrong was he got some blowback in the face. They didn’t eject the inserted magazine and it cycled the next round.
