I would have stopped with simply a look at the first primer. Why? Because they do not look right. Even my hot Weatherby's don't do that. Over pressure/over sized or not, I have but one right eye or life to give. Can't think of a single reason to take the risk with continued use of that lot.

So are you talking about your "hot Weatherby's" shooting factory loads, or your Weatherby handloads?
None of the Weatherby rounds have a SAAMI Maximum Average Pressure of more than 65,000 PSI--which is the same as the .270 Winchester, .280 Ackley Improved, and a bunch of other cartridges.

Nosler has responded to my Email and after getting the lot #, they checked and that particular lot tested well below SAMMI specs. They are sending me a pre-paid return label and will get the box exchanged for me. The Nosler rep. stated that the lot tested out at a avg. max pressure of 53,600 PSI.
Anyways, looks like it wasn't over pressure, just an odd failed case.
Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

Back when I was testing some of their ammo for an upcoming Buf hunt I had two rounds from a box go 'click' on a trigger squeeze.
Perhaps they'll offer you a hat too.
Me? Nosler ammo - never again. Ever. This accuracy sucks also.
