First of all, I'm glad you were able to type out your post. It could have been worse.

I wouldn't be so fast as you are to blame yourself for the problem. The load you described, if it is accurate and more importantly if your scale is accurate, isn't overly hot. But it sounds like a check of your CZ's chamber dimensions is in order - it just might be oversized. That's a rare occurance, but it does happen.

A few questions: What brand of casing separated? What brand was the majority of the bulged ones? What are the web and mouth dimensions of an unfired reload and of a fired case from the CZ? Did you check and recheck the OAL of some unfired rounds?
