I know this is the wrong place but!!! - Ten Ring - 02-19-2017
Like I said savage has rifle now. I really dought it was obstructed barrel !!! Was the first shot taken since rifle had been cleaned and put up after deer season!!! Unless IMR had packed power on wrong can. I was a new fan I broke seal when I loaded that batch. I will try to get a close up picture and post it

I am working on starting loading for my grendal. I will start at bottom of scale!!!!
I got what I read to be two of the best powders DBR8208, AR-comp

For some reason I was thinking the powder was purchased at a gunshow/garage sale. That was a new can off the store shelf?

Yes those are good powders to use for the Grendel!!

if it was in fact 7828 and not a bad powder or something it couldnt have been the primary issuse the max load for 165gr is listed as up to 80gr and that is at 105% load density i think you would be hard pressed to put enough of that powder in to cause over charge.....
where are you getting your brass: range pick ups, bought used, bought new, fired from new ammo, fired from remanufactured ammo? how many times has said brass been loaded?

I have still heard nothing from Savage arms, when I call I get told it is in line awaiting a gun smith to look at it. I hoping no new is good news, and it would take them less time to tell me that it not there problem, the it would for them to do something about it!!!

I am looking for 6.5 Grendel load data for AR-comp, this is what I got from Alliance
Alliant has no tested load data for the Grendell. Looking to the Hornady #10 reloading manual, they also have no tested load data utilizing the Alliant AR-Comp propellant. The Alliant propellant listed from Hornady is the Reloder-15.
The data in the above mentioned manual is copyrighted and you will need to either contact Hornady or purchase the manual.
Thanks,

Just have to ask.
What does this have to do with your 300 WM blowing up?
May want to move it to what ever thread it belongs.

Lol because this is not where I meant to post it. I must have closed the wrong window after posting the report on savage

Ok a little more follow up. I talk to the head of failure analysis at savage arms this week. He need my permission to cut the rifle up to send it out for metallurgy analysis. He said " thoe it looks like the failure was caused by over pressure there are lost of fractures on the bolt and bolt face , and chamber that can not be a count for with out further inspection.
They also want FFL information from me to send me a new fire arm. Sound really promising. But I not counting that chicken untill it is in my hands. He ask what I wand caliber wise I opted For 308 300 win mag is just to expensive to shoot lol

Update… so far upon taking this apart we have found what we believe to be compound from the stock bedding possibly that you spoke to me about. This foreign substance was photographed in the threads, on the locking lugs and around various surfaces of the bolt face.
We continue to examine but so far the theory is that this compound may have been a major issue because there was so much of it.

This was and email I revived from savage Friday. The funny thing is this rifle was glass needed in 2000 and has had most of the rounds ever fired threw it after that point. HU kind of funny to me
I know this is the wrong place but!!! - LRRPF52 - 04-02-2017
Is there any chance you left a patch in the bore?
I know this is the wrong place but!!! - Ten Ring - 04-02-2017
At this point I guse anything possible. I uasualy thero but how knows . The think savage sent me about finding glassbeding compound on the bolt and locking lugs is just ridiculous.

Not surprised Savage is sending you a new rifle, the analysis they are doing on your rifle is invaluable.

Well it was determined by savage to be and unknown high pressure event... they are giving me a new rifle but not a tactical, but a Axis II. But better then nothing. Thoe it will be traded in at the FFL I am having it shipped to before I ever open it ....

Hey that's pretty awesome. At the end of the day you didn't get hurt and got a new rifle to replace one that sounds like it had a lot of rounds through it. Savage impressed me on this one.

Is there anyway possible it was loaded with pistol powder. Know someone who owned a colt Sauer 300 mag that did that with the same results. Rifle was sent back to germany. He received a letter with what was left of the rifle congratulations on buying such a well made rifle that the bolt wasn't protruding from his face.
