Took my new RIA in 22 TCM out today to scare some ducks away, they add too much to the loading and need to be helped "move along" this time of year. The gun functioned quite well, not as loud as I was expecting as I've heard they are obnoxious. It hit at point of aim but I had a weird occurrence with the factory ammo I purchased with it. A co worker was shooting it and the casing landed near my foot, so I picked it up and saw the primer had blown out. I've had some rifle rounds do this after several loadings and a few 460 S&W Mag do it with virgin brass from the 65k PSI limit but didn't expect this today. Here's a pic of the case. This gun is identical to my RIA 10mm double stack and I got it for jackrabbits and such while raising hell over East with the off road toys. I emailed Armscor (RIA parent company) this morning but still awaiting any response. What do you guys think happened? Bad brass, too much pressure?
