It can happen to the best of us. It happens a lot more to the those who think they're the best and they're usually not around for long.
Been loading for 30+ yrs, and it was a standard load in the 220 Swift of 37.2 gr of IMR 4064 and a 55 gr VMAX and 39.2 gr of H380 and a 53 gr "XFB" that got me. Twice with the VMAXs and once with the Barnes, each blew the primer out of the case. Required a block of wood to get the bolt open with the Barnes.
The loads have worked cleanly and superbly from two different rifles in the past of various barrel lengths and are supremely accurate. Needless to say I have set the Swift aside for the time being (or at least until the temperature drops) and have recommissioned the 22-250 for this season's coyotes, where it will undoubtedly end up laying on the back seat of the truck while the 222 Rem takes the stand.
