I was shooting with a buddy the other day and he had a 9mm reloaded case blow out on him (pictured below).The loads are about 15 years old and I do not know the guy who reloaded them, so I don't know much about them, other than it was 124gr FMJ 9mm. I do not know how many times this case was reloaded or the powder or the amount of powder, so not much info to give. He was given a bunch of these and he has shot over 1000 of them and this is the only incident he has had with the reloads. He was shooting a sig P226 and the gun had no issue after this incident. I am just curious as to what cause this, and ideas you all may have seen or heard about,. Here are my guesses.... case weakness, maybe shot too many times over loaded, too much powder too much crimp, bullet sticking in case, causing slide to move and then the pressure blew out the case as the slide was coming back...? what do you think.

Could be... Show the primer in the next pic. And a few other cases (any localized bulging?) What gun? It could also be the gun... overly reamed chamber (it happens). These are .454C factory new rounds shot from a Rossi 92... FYI, gun was shipped back to Rossi for a new barrel
