A few things...

This was the first time my Grandson used this rifle and only the third or fourth time he has used any magazine, bolt action rifle.....feeding from the magazine. Up to now we have been single feeding and/or a single shot rifle.

So....The cartridge before this one did not fire, it ejected with the bullet in the case. No movement.....The next round was this one.

Could it be the gun fired these two times a bit out of battery. The first cartridge didn't fire because the firing pin didn't reach the rim properly?

The second blew because the bolt wasn't totally closed. That would explain a split case AND a blown rim.

It is possible, he being a new bolt action shooter, he wasn't handling the bolt with enough force.

I'm going to do some testing when I get a chance to see if this gun will fire a bit out of battery

Stay tuned!
