Shot some of these out of a cmmg banshee yesterday. Don’t have the box anymore, so not sure what lot. Bought 4ish years ago. Attached File


All bulged, pic doesn’t show it well, case 4 has a split.

What's your point?  Seems more like a gun problem (chamber support, or more specifically, lack thereof) than an ammunition problem.

Curious to see what CMMG says. Other than "our gun isn't rated for that". I heart they're decent with their CS though.

Underwood 200gr Hard Cast and 200gr XTPs are the go-to loads for my Glock 20. My spent brass doesn't look like THAT...factory barrel FWIW.

I'll second lack of support almost a OOB premee detonation.

I get them in once in a while in my Lage 10/31 upper for my trasferable M10
I call them belted 9mm magnum.
When I get them consistently on the factory  M10 upper in 45 acp I pop a new barrel in and it goes away for another 20-25k rounds.
The M10 will also crack the cases like your pic.

I guess in your case you are getting belted 10mm magnums

See if it does it with other rounds and proceed from there.

I see a new barrel in your future.

The half dozen other brands of ammo don’t have that issue. Neither have subsonic to maxed out reloads.

Are you using a Gen 2 Glock?  

I had a Gen 2 Glock 20 but replaced the factory barrel with a Lone Wolf for my hand loads.

Looks like CMMG admits their chamber isn't fully supported - more of a gun issue than an ammo issue.

Gen 2 Glocks in 40S&W had issues blowing up for same issue.

This even happens to me in my 9mm Banshee's with hot ammo.   It's the reason I haven't bought a CMMG 10mm, even though a 10mm PCC really appeals to me.
