It's easier to link to that thread than to re upload all the pics.



The barrel is going back to spook to be evaluated and provided it gets a clean bill of health I'll be ordering a new upper and BCG to rebuild it.

ds, Yikes Glad your not bleeding!
Q's..How many rounds of 125's did you shoot before switching over. Did they all eject OK? Was it the 1st subsonic round after?
Did the barrel come out of the upper " easily " ?
Where did the load data come from?

The barrel took a couple taps to come out of the upper. Cracked extension!

Somebody mentioned on the other site that you didn't have a filler to take up case capacity. I'm not sure he understands the concept that the bullet IS the filler with this cartridge. I don't think you can get enough in there for an overcharge that dramatic, a stuck bullet makes more sense to me.

A normal subsonic charge is going to be under 40,000 psi.

The concept of detonation is only for very slow powers in a large case - I doubt that happened with H110.
