Pew pew pew BOOM
I was just shooting some old mixed up 22s in my PPK/s 22 and sparrow.
About 75 rounds in, pew pew pew BOOM.
I'm fine. No obstructions in the bore or can. Now I need an extractor.

I would be showing those photos to Remington
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Re: Pew pew pew BOOM
This ammo is a minimum of 11 years old probably closer to 15. I haven't added to that loose can of ammo since before I moved. I don't see them swing that helpful with ammo that old.WLJ wrote:I would be showing those photos to Remington

Wouldn't hurt to drop them an e-mail and you never know, Remington needs all the good PR they can get right now.

Re: Pew pew pew BOOM
Looks like a bad round. It blew out the rim and was fully seated in the chamber.

I would have bet it was an out-of-battery discharge, which aren't terribly uncommon with rimfire ammo, but that solid firing pin imprint has me scratching my head.

25% of the rim is intact and part of that is where the firing pin struck it.Frailer wrote:I would have bet it was an out-of-battery discharge, which aren't terribly uncommon with rimfire ammo, but that solid firing pin imprint has me scratching my head.
Maybe the previous bullet was a squib and this one has enough pressure to shoot both bullets out and blow out the back of the case??

5.7 pistol took a bite out of the last 2 baffles. I have since picked up a Gemtech 5.7 can.Marcus wrote:No NEW baffle strikes. EekJff24Gordn wrote:I just checked the can, no debris inside and no new baffle strikes.

Re: Pew pew pew BOOM
I've never seen a case head blow out that bad before. I've seen plenty that blew out a chunk of rim, but never 3 different chunks at once. That must have been a wild ride and a real eye opener. I saw the blast marks on your hand, did you get burned?

Re: Pew pew pew BOOM
Check the barrel for any rings.
Old ammo usually will not have a over pressure due to age of powder but likely to have a squib.
Which could cause a pressure spike.

I was able to go back to the gun range and get security cam footage of the boom.
