Not a great way to begin a thread on load development but....

Wasn't Christensen the ones, who had all the chambering and accuracy problems back a years or so ago?? 3.5 on Google, and some horrific reviews.

My thoughts-
1.Defective brass failed?
The hot gas went thru the M16 extractor cut.
The vented gas split the receiver?

OR

2. Did the receiver fail first, because of improper heat treating?
Then the case head moved off the bolt face and case head ruptured?

I think #1

Best part, no one was injured.
