Is more damage done after the gas hits the port? Otherwise damage might be confined to bolt/barrel?Originally Posted by MistWolf
I imagine the carrier can split on sides where the feed lip cuts are, or perhaps I have seen a picture like that and am just imagining that I imagined it..

What I'm saying is, the kaboom happens before the bolt can start unlocking because unlocking doesn't start until after the bullet has left the barrel.

That be true. But man, when that bolt does move!

A "kaboom!" at my club from a few years ago (2012).

Wow! Any idea who made of that grenade?

It was a PSA that I think was loaded with the shooter's reloads although he denied it. He said it was Federal something or other. I never saw him after this happened so I don't know positively what caused it.

I'm with the over pressure as well. I no longer have the pictures or measurements from a 6.5 Grendel and the cases due to an improperly gas ported barrel. (won't say the name but they made them with intent of end user using an adjustable block, which I found out later). If it wasn't for the Lapua brass, I think mine would have done the same as above.

Probably lost his nerve and sold off all his stuff. Not a bad thing. I can't imagine a packed to the gills reload doing that much damage. Impressive, and shows why "representative QI" is no better than none at all.

Not arguing just asking ,Can you really put enough of the RIGHT powder in a AR ??? Case to do that much damage or would it have to be wrong powder or Squibb load ? I've seen too little powder become grenades in pistol calibers .

Is that supposed to be a slam on PSA?
That rifle handled it like every other AR.
Or are you referring to the ammo?
