Hi folks, it's been at least a few years since I've stopped by the old forum....long enough at least that my login info no longer worked. So I fired up a new account and am looking forward to being a part of the forum once again.
Had an interesting little occurence at the range today....the picture should tell most of the story. Happened with my SMLE....ammo was brand new Remington UMC, so I'm guessing it is a headspace issue. The rifle itself has a lot of miles on it, although I myself have only put about 100 rounds through it in the many years that its sat in my safe. Anyway, any helpful comments are welcome.
I have kind of been on a pistol bender for the last few years, but I'm getting a bit of a C&R itch lately...so I will probably be spending most of my time in this corner of the forum.
By the way, this is my first casing rupture....I was amazing how evenly and smoothly the shell broke into two pieces.
