There 10 years’ worth and 1000s of pages of documents and testimony being held with the 46th Circuit Court for the County of Otsego, Michigan if you want all the facts of the case. Public Record
The simple answer is what I have time for right now and it’s what I posted above” You can disregard everything I say but PLEASE if anyone has this gun or knows someone with one out of morbid curiosity check the headspace or have a gun smith check the headspace.” Then see what a qualified gun smith tell you to do.
So how do you think (or did your lawyer argue) excessive headspace made the gun blow up unless the load was severely overpressure or the frame/bolt gave out? Excessive headspace would make the case stretch, crack, and even possibly burst (detached case head) which I have had happen as noted above with my own encore .300 WM, but it most definitely didn't detonate and throw shrapnel.
