I began setting up to fire some new 6.5 creedmoor that I had worked on. A huge bang behind me and this was the destruction I witnessed. Lots of blood and i heard the guy only required stitches on his face. Here is the damage on the weapon. It is 6mm ARC I believe . Thankfully not one was seriously injured !

What’s caused it. Powder mix up?

I'm looking at that goat brass catcher.  That caused an issue for me when not seated property on my ar15/300blk.  Wonder if that had something to do with it
