Yes Bill the rest of the case is in the chamber and on its way to AA. Mr. Alexander wanted to see it and offered to inspect it and tell me if the barrel/barrel extension was ok to use. I prime with a hand primer, I clean the primer pocket, I weigh each powder charge and use a hand press to reload. I load for the Grendel the same way I do my SSG69 just 1 at a time. I spoke with Mr. Alexander at length yesterday and he seemed to think the 120gr Amax was likely the problem too. That being said it isnt Hornadys fault either, I should have done more research instead of just loading the 120Amax. It is the bullet my .308 prefers so I figured it was a good place to start. Live and learn. I was up front with both AA and Vltor and both still stood by their product even though I broke it.
