What conditions led to this?

[bobm]

This morning there were 30-40 of these left on the firing line. (slobs) Not a one was without a head crack or splitting. Looks like it was new factory ammo.

FORUM Boss: This Brass is NOT made by Alpha. Repeat this is not brass made by Alpha. Any suggestion of that will be immediately deleted and the poster will be kicked off the thread. Got it?

Slobs? Maybe they left in a hurry.....
Due to injury?!

 

[joshb]

Holy…..what was he shooting?…it in???

 

[Bill Norris]

Looks like it was too hot or sorry brass.

6.5 Creedmoor in a 6.5 Swede? I bet that was it…….or some other

 

[SecondsCount]

Maybe an AR with way too much headspace?

 

[shoot4fun]

Happen to notice any blood spots or twisted. metal pieces laying around?

 

[D-4297]

Factory ammo in a older Over-sized barrel , with excessive Head-space . Or just plain wrong ammo for the gun .

6.5 in a 308?

 

[Doug Bogg]

How were those extracted from of the chamber?

 

[Ggmac]

Dang the last 3 look like they would of done some real damage . Someone should of stopped shooting when gas came out of the wrong end of the gun .

 

[Ggmac]

Look how much is unsupported!!!!!!

 

[D-4297]

Don't know that much about 6.5 case size , but if it will go in a .308 chamber , and close the Bolt , you might have a winner .

 

[gambleone]

You'd thought they would have stopped after seeing one???

 

[Steve Blair]

It looks like they may have been fired in a belted Magnum chamber. The splits are about where the belt would be.

Some people don't take subtle hints.

 

[gunsandgunsmithing]

30-40 huh? Apparently, they think one more firing outta fix it. Lol! Why did they keep shootin, is the real question. I'd guess, old and overly sized brass is why it happened but just a guess. Quality is another issue. So is pressure. Neither of which can be faulted without more info.

 

[Ggmac]

Any pics of the shoulder and neck ?

 

[Nick Caprinolo]

It seems obvious that the chamber was larger that the case. I doubt if it comes from over pressure as the primers seem to be normal. I woulds think the shooter knew the ammo was mismatched and didn't care. You can't fix stupid

Well so many people think there’s only one six-five, wouldn’t surprise me. I’ll give him credit, he doesn’t quit easily. Real trooper.
