A friend called me this morning to vent. He is loading .223 in preparation for prairie dog hunting. This morning he loaded some 50 grain Hornady V-max bullets using IMR 3031. Some of the loads he crimped, some he did not. Anyway, he got a blown case head, case seperated in the action. No apparent damage to himself or the Ruger rifle. The case that was blown was one he did not crimp. I do not load for .223 myself, so I did not know what to tell him. Any thoughts? Thanks.
