[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1809352, member: 1132"] Based on what I see in that thread, I'd be checking BVAC ammo VERY closely before firing. One thing quality ammo has to start with is quality brass. Some brass manufacturers have poor QC. The OP said the barrel threaded into the receiver "very tight". It's possible this could've lead to excess stress on the receiver when firing. Without having been proof tested or MPI'd, there's no way to know if there was a falw in the barrel or receiver that led to a blown case. I'd be most concerned about the wildly varying case lengths though. Certain brands of brass (and some brands in sppecific calibers), I just throw in the trash instead of reloading. It's not worth blowing up an expensive gun to save a few cents. :( [/QUOTE]
