Went out to the range today to sight in the scope on the new rings. Shooting Rem SPV W/ AAD762 Can. Loaded up some 147s in .308 with 45g BLC2
@ 2.800 COL Shot fine got it on target then switched to some 168 A Max bullets with 45.4g Of BLC2 (range is 44-47g) in Mil brass CCI LRP same COL
Pulled the trigger and all hell broke loose. BLast hit me in the face, Checked the bolt would not open, All signs of a double charge but pretty impossible to double charge a .308 with BLC2 as most of it would spill over the loader. Got it home finally managed to get the bolt open and the case was basically welded to the bolt!
Brass flowed into the bolt and was unable to get it loose, tried to push it to the sides, turn it etc no effect, finally had to use some pliers and kept twisting it back and forth for about 10 min until it finally gave away. Case looks like a belted magnum. Primer pocket is 2 times the size,
Ended up pulling the 39 other bullets and checked the weight which were 45.4g I did notice 2 that read a little high at 46.2g that I am really wondering about but looking at this case looks like it was pistol powder or severely over charged! Cant figure it out. Using Dillon 550 have been loading on it for 15yrs never had a problem. No way was powder changed. Also double checked the bullet weight which read right at 168.4 on the Dillon Digital. Fired 60rds prior to this one out of the same powder on the machine. Other than the obvious any ideas?
