It was once fired brass, so case stretch wasn't the issue. No ring around the separation area.
The issue was loading 9 major in a stepped case. The already high pressure is increased due to the reduced case volume (and the brass is possible weaker around that stepped point?). It's a known issue for loading 9 major, which is why I sort the stepped cases out of all of my once fired brass. I guess I just missed one.
I was told yesterday that I can setup my 1050's swaging station to catch any of these that slip through, but I've got to do more research as to how exactly that works.

Wow. I had not seen or herd of internally stepped cases before. Did a check and found 9mm FM, IMT and MAXXTECH produce them, may be more. Didn't see a confirmed reason for the step but common opinion was to stop bullet set-back. It seems the step is too far back considering bullet design and powder. Possibly impact extrusion process but I don't know why they would not taper the result.
I'm learning new tricks, Woof!

AMMOLOAD is another headstamp to look out for. Someone told me this morning that they experienced some separations using AMMOLOAD stepped brass even when loaded to minor PF. I personally have never had any trouble with any stepped case loaded minor, but apparently it can happen.
Have you ever knocked an ejecting empty mag back into the gun with the full mag that was supposed to go in the gun? I just did.

At the last match a round went off on my belt. During a reload, the falling empty moon clip hit the primer just about right. The bullet was deflected by the aluminum post support or it would have hit me in my "business" area.

Definitely. I've tumbled live rounds with federal primers, then spun them around in the media separator (albeit slowly), but now I'll definitely reconsider.

Readied my Ruger American 300 AC with my Surefire SOCOM suppressor for the woods tomorrow. Have it zeroed at 100 yds with Barnes Vortex 110 gr - normally use my .270 or .308 but heck why not!

If you are talking a RARR w/ 16.5" bbl,shooting the Barnes 110gr "Black Tips", . . . . it will just bounce off.
But really, . . . . . it will work,and work great if you put that great bullet where it is supposed to be. Mine works great and see some of Daezee's past hunting posts. Bruce has killed multiple deer with his and my biggest hog with mine was a 225 pounder.
Good hunting. ----SAWMAN
