From another Aussie Forum.

Before everyone goes too far on the load it was 91gr of 2225 and a 300gr berger loaded to mag length. I dont know what the mag length is but the charge is not MAX.

Another post following that one.

I use 91.5 of 2225 with 300 scenars in a M700 with no issues so I couldn't imagine any probs with that load in a Blaser, guess we will have to wait and see what comes from the experts (if anything comes out) as to what failed.

Would pay to wait & see what the outcome is.
