Rosco, we are off topic (sorry for hijack) but sure it is....but I must easily be well into mid 5 figures for rounds through pre 64's (but under 6 figures) by now....not an incident.
OTOH a pal's eye was saved by shooting glasses last year from a Rem 700 when the gas came back from a badly blown primer......to be fair he had chambered a 270 in a 280...hard to blame the rifle for that one.
Point being when gas lets go and starts flowing, you aren't safe with hardly anything if the case does not seal the chamber and it gets past the rear of the breech
Generally Rem 700's have been good to me...I have seen issues with other people's rifles, but no snafu's for me yet.
