I'm also short of air and air pressure. Some of my own testing has revealed that it doesn't make too much of a difference at pistol distances, velocities at the muzzle are pretty consistent from here to the flat lands.
I'm starting to wonder if there wasn't, or isn't, something wrong with your gun. Blown out parts are indicative of high pressure, primer flow like that as well, and your die's refusal to resize brass without destroying it. Thing is, I'll be damned if I can even come up with a theory, especially since replacing the LCI with something you made in your shop seems to have straightened everything out. I gotta tap out on this one, and hopefully everything is good and stays that way, good luck.
