I'd like to see pictures of the damage. A light load of 2750fps is below starting loads in the Ramshot manual.

The first thing that enters my mind is the wrong powder.

You blew up two AR's? Wasn't one kaboom enough to look for the cause before you continued to shoot?

So you had 2 blow-up, but you didn't really because they were different people in different places......??

Like higbean said, need a WHOLE lot of specifics.
