I had a partial case head separation using a 1.8oz buffer

Ninny,

Not arguing that we shouldn't load within safe limits, but there's a bigger risk with an OOB at any pressure, than a hot load in battery.

Lazy,

You cannot generalize to a population with a limiting exception of one.

How are intellegent experts missing this? Go look at the Lapua casing and go look at the Hornady casing - and go look at the what 4? postings now of Kabooms, that keep involving Lapua brass. Just because yours isn't kabooming in your premium barrels with your expert practices, doesn't mean this isn't as obvious as the sun on one's face; that the Lapua and the Kabooms that go to Lapua, isn't relatied to the obvious Lapua decision to run a thin web down the explody-part of the brass at the case head, and so - Kaboom. OP's Kaboom, would not have happened if he was running Hornady brass - the picture makes that strikingly obvious. Why is this so hard?
