yeah Im suprised you didnt get a bursted case and a face full of hot gas.. I bought a box of the cheap steel cased .308 from Cabela's and one of the cases splt when I shot it.. It scared the hell out of me when I got hot gas in the face shooting a bolt action. I threw the whole box of ammo away and decided I wouldnt shoot anything except my own reloads out of there!

I highly, highly doubt the gun would come apart due to that round being shot.  99% sure it was exactly what i described before and just stick to the normal rounds.  this happens a lot to the semi autos.  besides if you need that much more power just step up a few calibers!!! gives you ammo to get the go ahead from the wife :hello:
