Purchased Another rifle I didn't know I needed, 7x64

Just an update. Now that winter is over i got out to do some shooting this morning.
Overall the 173gr S&B ammo i bought is much more accurate. Right at 1moa.
The only troubling thing is one case totally ruptured. I knew something was wrong immediately as I felt the gasses and then sticky bolt lift. Only this one cartridge a all the rest fired fine.

I have shot hundreds of those S&B 173 grain Torpedo rounds with zero problems... and they are accurate and great on game too.

That looks like a bad case, it happens. I note though that the later stuff seems hotter than previous. I had one round of that show obvious pressure signs not long ago. I pulled one down, noted the charge then dumped a few grains out of some others of that box.

Probably the result of the machine that stamps out brass disc's from the brass strip being run too quickly and getting out of time. If a cutting die takes a nick out of a disc that will happen. I only saw it twice at the range complex that I used to run.
