Case and bolt head looked very similar to yours, however occasionally some gas/rubbish would blow back along the bolt and you could just feel it on your face. Was a very uneasy feeling but made me...

Another thing that can cause it is scratching the primer pocket when decrimping or cleaning I had that happen with a 2nd hand lot of Lapa 308 brass picked up. 5 blew out of 30 but none of my mixed...
