Comments
Motor chuffed several times then blew out the aft closure shortly after liftoff. The case was burned though at the C-slot in the grain and the anodizing was damaged to about /4" from the aft end of the casing tube. I don't see a date code on the packaging, but the reload is 10-15 years old.
