I am still in shock and mourning; a pierced Cheddite Primer and associated blowback blew apart the head of my Parker VHE stock this morning. Shell was a reload (mine) and can't help but think it was my own error, but I can't see anything wrong with the spent casing other than the primer is pierced, although perhaps the hull is expanded slightly more than other cases. Case looks clean with no signs of excess pressure, primer was fully seated, crimp looked normal, etc. All I know is that my beautiful 1929 gun is in sad shape. Sign.
