Whoa!
Lead wadcutters in a Glock? Did you change out the barrel first?
No injuries? Was your hand injured, or just numb for a few minutes (ask me how I know
)
My book says max do-not-exceed for that loading is 5.2 grains of 231 so your load should've been OK...was your powder measure properly calibrated?
Ah, A-Merc case. Explains a lot. I hate those cases. I am assuming you reloaded this yourself? Looks like a simple case of case web failure.
Could you post a clearer pic of the case headstamp? It almost looks like the striker imprint was not from a Glock (not that I am doubting you).
Did it force the magazine out? Any other damage to the slide (and rails) and/or internals?
Man, so sorry to hear and see this. Full frame replacement right there.

I ll post some more pics, ill clean this up better. Definatly was my glock. Rally wonder what would have happened if it was my SIG.

Thanks BHALE
When i started pouring lead bullets, i just read alot online. Theres, dont do it and theres you wont have any problems. Welp!!!!! i can say i wouldnt suggest lead through a stock barrel glock now.
THeres no leading in the barrel though. i want to get this brass nice and clean to see what the fracture looks like.
I have to say took me awile to answer that one,

What Mike said!
+1 on that! And the great thing is, the Lee Bulge Buster .40 fits nicely into and works well with my RCBS press. Woot! Best of both worlds
