thank goodness i wear glasses.

i dont know if it came from the compensator or what.

I had some cheap copper plated bullets that did that. I would guess the jacket was separating at the cylinder gap. Don't use them any more. Only use quality bullets for this bad boy now.

Well if you ever need a tactical light for it all you need is duct tape and a maglite...lol

I'm using Sierra 300 grainers now. No more copper plate for me. I'll have to redo all them copper plated bullets and make wienie loads out of them.
