Sunday is my range day so I went and took 2 SR1911's with me. I had my LWCommander and my standard SR1911. I was double tapping @30 feet with 3 rounds in the mag. My first round hit the bullseye but the second round was really HOT!! It was as if I had double charged the round. I use RCBS Handy Dandy rotors and am extremely careful when pouring powder. I set the brass in my wooden blocks and have a procedure I go through meticulously, never changing the way I load. Some of my rounds are old and I am wondering if possibly the round could have split when the firing pin hit the primer. I could not find the brass after I shot and I looked immediately, but at the range brass is all over. I am shooting Berry 230 plated RN, 4.7 grns. of Bullseye and my COAL is 1.255. If I would have double charged the round I would have seen it when I set the bullet. Does any one have any ideas of what may happen if a round splits when detonated? It's the only thing I can think of. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Out of 175 rounds I fired, I just had the one round.

P.S. I was shooting my LW when this happen and immediately I checked the barrel and bore and it showed no signs of damage. The rest of session went well.
