[QUOTE="jeffsoward, post: 1203410, member: 7228"] I went shooting yesterday at lunch and had my first case failure from a reload. I was shooting and I after about 80 rounds, I got sprayed in the face with something pretty hot when I fired. I cleared the pistol and checked the mag, barrel and rest of the gun. I couldn't find any issues. Wall thought it was probably oil from the gun. It didn't feel like oil though. I couldn't find the shell that had just ejected so I just put the mag I was firing from in the bag and went onto some other loads. I swept my brass up and sorted it last night. I found one case that had cracked along the bell of the case. A-HA! I figure it could have been a weak case, but it could have been seated to low, too much powder (would have expected something a bit more catastrophic though) or something. It was odd and unpleasant. Thank God for eye protection. [/QUOTE]
