One alternative powder to 1680 is Norma 200, it takes a grain or two more than 1680 since its a bit slower, but it's made cycling my 16 inch carbine with a carbine gas system work for 190 gr and...

yah, I am with kycaster, recheck your load data, you are 2 grains over max for that bullet weight and powder. With that much pressure and that quick of rifling the bullet is probably just sliding...

The bright line around the base of the brass looks to me like some failures I have seen in the past on 223 cases after multiple reloads, they stretch and after multiple trimmings and reloadings get...
Bringing this back to life - I had the lee 6.5 170 gr mold cut down by .335 to make a 123 gr ( with gas check base ) or so bool it....I am going to try these in my 6.5 grendel soon as I get a chance...

Suppressors are only really effective with a subsonic round ( around 1100 fps ) - otherwise it dampens the muzzle blast but you still get a "crack" from the bullet breaking the sound barrier.

Sending prayers as well, I'm thankful it wasn't worse and also that God made children so resilient and fast healing.
I have two little girls myself, 8 and almost 3, so this hits close.
