Tank1949, read post number 27, she explains what happened...there isn't any reason to have to guess at what happened.

You've never seen an M1 blow up until you sit there and watch a re-welded Garand come apart. Took 3 reconstructive surgeries to "fix" the damage and even then, the results weren't great. There are still to many re-welded receivers floating around out there, thanks in part to Golden State Arms and the other closely tied in company who's name escapes me at the moment.

I know!

I train my novices to lean into it a bit while staying in balance, kind of like a boxers' stance.

I noticed women tend to lean away more often

Thank you for the videos and the comments.

REMMAC,

FYI:

There are a lot of posts on this subject. I'm sure that I mssed something.

My SA XD 45 will shoot with slide not 100% closed (grit, trash, etc). I emailed SA about my concern, but they have not responded. As you know, it is blow back type and not gas operated. I don't know if this helps or not. I'd still bet on incorrect powder like Bullseye.

Our range had warnings about some bad foreign 308 ammo that was being recalled due to some powder contamination. If I didn't make it or it was not made by a domestic ammo producer, I don't shoot it. And, I still make mistakes.

If it were my wife or daughter, I'd experiment to be absolutely sure as to what caused this. I'm sure that they have.

God bless her and the USA!
