Wow,what a mess. Could have bounced up into an eye, or down into really important stuff.

Sure hope you are alright.

Are you going to try and get it repaired?

Hope everone's O.K.

I once had a 30-06 case split wide open when shooting a Remington 740 Auto. It's SCAREY....Fire and metal flew in what seemed every direction.

I hope all is fine.

I was very glad to be wearing glasses, and must say it does get ones attention. There also appears to be an obstruction in the barrel which I assume is a bullet from the case protruding from the chamber.

Appreciate the good wishes, and am pleased to have all my personal parts intact. Wink

I have shot several boxes of Predators from both bolt action rifles, semi auto pistols and revolvers without incident.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

I would like to add that both Volquartsen and PMC are more than willing to help and identify the problem if any and correct same. Well done to these professionals.
