    Photograph number 7 shows a loaded, unfired round from the shooters ammo box. There is a bulge in the case neck that likely had nothing to do with the failure but it does show that the reloader was not very picky or careful with his reloading process. Maybe he was equally lax about checking his cases for double charging. Tom
