So sorry to hear about your loss, but I'm very glad that you weren't injured.
Pictures would be nice and please keep us updated with anything you learn.
I've had some incidences but not injuries... haven't had a real kaboom like that, but the squib I had recently could have resulted in one if we hadn't discussed such things a lot on this forum. I knew what to do... or what NOT to do, but a lot of people benefit from the discussions and might actually learn something that saves them pain and injury.

I'm awaiting information from Federal on the popular Federal Champion 230-grain FMJ in the 100-round Value Packs. They were sending the case for metallurgical testing.
