Ok, so went out yesterday to put a couple rounds through my wife's Rugar Ranch 16" 556. Spun my omega off my 6.5 and spun it on the Ranch via ASR mount. I locked the cam down and reverse twisted it to verified it was on tight. Loaded some 223rem 75g bthp. My first shot scared the hell outta me. My can flew off about 30ft in front of me. I'm totally dumbfounded.... I don't know what happened. I'm 99.9% sure it was locked down. It felt solid when I checked it after locking the cam. I don't know what to do. I wanna try it again.... but I really don't. Has anyone had this happen? It seems impossible in my mind. The can is ok. No baffle strike.
Please any insight on this would be appreciated.
