batson 1089 on a cast with a 2.75 ounce pencil popper. i inspected the blank and didn't find any nicks. it just exploded on the cast. there are now 3 pieces. i doubt it was human error. this is the 3rd batson in a year to break like this. it isn't a matter of being built wrong as none of the other 10 or so blanks built the same way have broke. just glad it wasn't mine.
