was the can loose on the muzzle threads?
some retarded memeout 300gr 600fps load?
I know it’s Mexican ammo. I wasn’t expecting match ammo. I only had one box of it. I bought it a few months ago when I was in Ohio last September. The same thing happened to a gun guy on YouTube recently. He was shooting Lake City 7.62. Undersized ammo was the only thing he could think of. Can you think of any other reason why it would do this? I’m just glad it didn’t send the end cap down range and take the treads with it.well, Aguila ammo is garbage in anything other than 22lr. and even then its only slightly better than Remington Golden Toillet 22lr.
i would read some over on m14.
Aguila 7.62x51

from a quality manufacturer, id have a hard time believing undersized bullet. Aguilla QC is just terrible so anything is possible. be glad you didnt get a squib and blow the gun up in your face.
Foreign body in the case?Jacket separation?
No chance. Unless you're 10 feet from the target, or shooting at a barn, an end cap strike like that and the bullet is WAY off target. Jacket separation would make more sense if it's what cap struck. Less chance of drastically affecting the bullet.It wasn’t jacket separation. There was a clean .308 round that was keyholed in the target.
There was a clear key hole in the target. I don’t exactly remember the distance but it was there. Plain as day. I noticed it on the second magazine of 10 rounds. My father also saw it.No chance.

But if it stayed in tact, I can't get behind a keyhole at 12" off POA or some such.
I actually hunted with a dude who was so overcharged on his reloads, pushing velocity way past safe, his copper jackets came off inflight and imbedded I'm the deers horns he was shooting.
I don't think it was a jacket separation either
I’ve seen it with a baffle strike on my obsidian 45. Only 15 yards though, but in the 7 ring.There was a clear key hole in the target. I don’t exactly remember the distance but it was there. Plain as day. I noticed it on the second magazine of 10 rounds. My father also saw it.
Plausible and likely. But I guess anything can happen with a strike.I’ve seen it with a baffle strike on my obsidian 45. Only 15 yards though, but in the 7 ring.
Could it be the rounds were undercharged and not stabilized? Not all but a few?. Would explain the strike and key hole.There was a clear key hole in the target.

None of them felt undercharged. I have the gas cut all the way back with an adjustable gas plug. It probably wouldn’t have cycled the rounds or locked the bolt back.Could it be the rounds were undercharged and not stabilized? Not all but a few?. Would explain the strike and key hole.
