If you weren't over charged, you were on the high end based on powder burn rates and similar charges I could find data on..........I too couldn't find any load data for that particular combo.
Every rifle is different, which is why the long standing advice is to work your loads up, monitoring for signs of pressure. I'll assume you did that before shooting.
I think extraction, otherwise I think you'd see bolt lugs sheared and / or other more significant damage.
Regardless, you got lucky, learn from it.
