And the friend.
It's clear there's one factor and I've factor only, and it's mentioned in the previous post. Both him and his buddy stuffing too much powder in a case because it's what they've always done with no I'll affects, then are surprised when the above Max load makes it to where the bolt needs to be HAMMERED OPEN. There's extremely dangerous habits developed here. I'd rather burn an extra pound or 5 of powder working op to a safe max than have a bolt through my face. And if the bolt has to be hammered open, you are lucky as hell it didn't let loose and become a projectile through your buddies brain. There's old reloaders, then there's reloaders that take such risks. Not many that fit both.
Change case manufacturers, at a minimum, measure the h20 capacity. If it's close, still drop a percentage. If it's not, drop at least 10%
Change primers, drop the charge.
Different bullet, same weight, start over.
This is going to end with someone getting seriously hurt. I'm out.
