double charge?

9mm
primer doesn't look like it moved. think it was double charged? noticed extra recoil, caught some residue in face, and gun jammed.
reload bought from gun show years ago. hundreds with no issues previously shot.

Prob so. Glad you're ok.

[Killer]

is the gun ok?

Doesn't look like an overcharge to me. The primer cup is still round. Maybe just a piece of brass shot one too many times in an unsupported chamber. Shot in a glock?

Looks like case separation to me. Probably overcharged but likely not double charged.

what causes case separation?

what causes case separation?

Weak spot in brass, overcharged load. Could happen if the gun fired before back in battery but that's pretty unlikely.

Primer and pocket show no signs of over pressure. Probably bad brass. You have no idea what it went through prior to this with a purchased reload.
