You are in control of your ammo and, if you do your job, you KNOW it's right, . A common problem with the smaller reloaders is that demand for cheap ammo quickly outstrips a 1-2 man operation and inexperienced "help" gets hired and quality suffers. I'd guess that you ended up with a round that was overcharged or had a bullet seated way too deep, causing a pressure spike. |
My first thought was that it was overcharged. I don't know why. I was always a little leary of Georgia Arms, but I never had any problems with them before. I even use their "cowboy loads" for SASS meets.
I'm going to be stocking up in the near future at Dick's, so I'll have "real" ammo from here out.
