That was going to be my guess. Of all 22 ammo over the past few years that I have issue with it's mostly been those. Split cases, burning powder on my hands compared with other rounds not uncommon. Just shooting them in my bolt guns now.It was Remington Golden Bullet 100pk plastic box.
I had this happen on my Ruger MK3. Some of the CCI standard velocity rounds I was shooting at the time had too much wax on the bullets and the round wasn't seating all the way in the chamber sometimes. Most times the gun wouldn't go off, but this one time there was enough of a primer strike that the round went off and I got the same exact results you have shown. The round didn't seat all the way but stuck out just enough for a light primer strike. Felt the blast on my trigger finger but no harm done otherwise. I don't think its a problem with the gun, just a matter of the tolerances being just right for this to occur. If the firing pin was made shorter you might get misfires. Fired thousands of rounds since in practice and competition and never had this occur again. My fellow shooting buddies always put a drop of gun oil on the bullet on the first round in a magazine, I started doing this also and have had less jams and misfires from all brands of ammo.I was shooting my Ruger Mk II the other day and it made the strangest faint noise. I've not heard anything like it before when shooting. I opened the action and a little brass disk and the front half of my extractor fell out. Upon further inspection I noted the forward portion of the case was still in the chamber. My trigger finger and left hand index finger had two parallel soot streaks on them. What happened was a case head separation (that little disk is the case head) and the resultant leaking gas blew down along both side of the trigger leaving the soot staining on my hands. Everything seems in order other than needing a new extractor ... which is on the way.
The remaining case and head when put together almost look like a .22 Short … but I assure you it was a Long Rifle round. The back half of the extractor was nowhere to be found.
This is a new one on me. I've had bottle neck rifle cartridges separate and I've had a few blown pistol cases over the years, but this is the first time anything like this has happened to me with a .22LR. Anybody else see this before? What really puzzles me is that the bullet was clear of the barrel, so a fair amount of pressure was present in the bore, but there was hardly any noise at all.

Old thread but there was a recall on that m22 a few years ago IIRC...? IIRC I had some but I didn't hit the lot# lottery.I had this happen to me in two different Ruger 10/.22s. Weeks apart using Winchester M22 ammunition. Both instances, round seamed hot. Very loud and debris coming back at me and smoke coming down through the trigger assembly. First time it ejected the case. Second time the base of the case came off and the shell remained in the chamber.
