After 50,000 rounds (according to my reloading diary) I had a case/head separation.
Probably 10,000 of that is rifle (223) rounds.
The other 40,000 rounds would be various handgun calibers.
4x reloaded FC brass. 26gr of Varget under a 55gr FMJBT, OAL 2.230
I had no warning, nothing looked odd or different.
The rest of that box of 50, fired just fine.
I'll have to take a paper clip to the rest of that box.
But it was just weird, no warning, nothing looked out of the ordinary.
My question is, "Did I miss something?" or "do case/head separations happen with no warning?"
It's got me just a little spooked.
