The crack on mine is like the one pictured. I seriously doubt the ammo is at fault. I load thousands of trap and skeet rounds each year and it would be very difficult to double charge a shell. I inspect my loaded rounds while loading and before they go into the gun and never chamber anything that is suspect. These were 1 oz loads at about 1150 fps so not heavy stuff. I will never know for sure what happened. It had never done this before and I had shot it several times over the summer since it was refinished without a problem. When I said recoil was horrendous I probably overstated that somewhat. It was nasty and shook me up as I knew immediately it had double on me and I think I was in a bit of shock for awhile. I'm going to miss that Fox.
