Ed Fowler,

I have two 22 Victorys, one is box stock and the other has a Volquartsen barrel and other goodies. I also have a Ruger Mark III 22/45 Lite which I use along with the Victory to shoot speed steel matches. I am using Federal AutoMatch in all these guns. The AutoMatch ammo is very inconsistent from round to round. I have encountered rounds that are very wimpy and others that are noticeably HOT! No blowouts or other mishaps YET.

Your blown out brass is amazing and looks exactly like an OOB which many of us have seen in S&W 15-22s. I don't doubt you but can't imagine how it happens.
