yip there were a few of those...and many other reports of bolts being siezed shut....Barry Crump had many do this...couldve been from placing entire rifle in stream to shoot trout LOL....
in 40 years of shooting,Ive had 1 case split and seperate in chamber........loaded by sports shop......3 primers so flat they were FLAT....same sports shop...thats when I bought my own gear..another shop loaded some 110s up for me and they were barstards of things to fire...ba-boom they went UNLESS I pointed rifle at sky then lowered and fired.
case life is much better with lighter loads..... its a balancing act,safety is paramount.
before my rifles were suppressed my loads were quite mild.....it suited me and stopped the dreaded "rhymes with grinch"....
