First thing I would do after a blow up is to take the rest of the box of shells, weigh each one individually after assigning a number to each shell. Next, I would dismantle every other shell and weigh each component, leaving every other shell intact. I would keep all loads of powder in plastic bags for testing, to see if the powder is the powder that is supposed to be in that load. Next, I would take two of the shells and send them to Tom Armbrust for pressure testing. However, your blowup seems to be an obstruction.

I think you could cut it to 29", but probably best to go to 28". I suppose Briley would be the place?
