Nope. Does anyone know where I can get a case extractor locally?

Another possibility is an undercharge. I remember reading about this in the late '80s or early '90s; as I recall, if the charge was small enough with the right powder, the primer flash hole could be left exposed, so the primer flash could ignite the powder across a much larger surface area than in a properly-charged round, resulting in detonation instead of ignition. One of the pictures I recall was of a revolver with the topstrap peeled forward like a banana and the top of the cylinder gone.2) Since you cant double charge a .223 case with appropriate powders that wasn't it. That doesn't mean that the wrong powder wasn't used though. I saw pics of a billet upper that grenaded just like that due to HS6 powder getting mixed with his BLC2. (they look similar)

I don't recall if this was something that affected rifle rounds, or if it was a handgun caliber-only phenomenon. I do remember that the type of powder was important...

You are thinking of Win 296/H110 being loaded too light. The manufacturer warns not to reduce charges below their data because it supposedly will detonate or something along those lines. Never seen it happen and never talked to anyone that has seen it to my knowledge and I've loaded a bunch of that powder. I've just heard the rumors.Another possibility is an undercharge.
