Nah, none of y'all have got it right yet. Dr. Jill called me and told me that the Teacher's Union has reached the consensus that the bullet was going so fast that it hit the steel target, bounced straight back into the barrel before the gasses could get out, and that blew up the barrel. When you think about it in those terms, it makes about as much sense as anything she might have heard from her husband, Uncle Joe.AND the correct answer is... we'll never absolutely know. Only theories, so pick your favorite(s).
My NOT a possibility includes simple copper fouled bore.
My YES theories, no different than my post #13
"The breech shank is pretty short.
Either defective steel, improperly stress relieved, and/or excessive pressure at the chamber. As in fast burn rate pistol powder loaded into a rifle cartridge. Possibly a bullet lodged in the barrel just forward of the chamber."

Squib load obviously. Bullet obstructing the barrel a few inches down the bore.
And then firing another shot behind it.Squib load obviously. Bullet obstructing the barrel a few inches down the bore.
Thankfully, You are ok. In all my years of reloading, I had loaded 100 rounds and went to check point of impact. I only used the first round. I never had a reaction like it before and never need another. The gun smoked out of every port. One can never be to careful. After getting home and pulling a bullet, weighing the charge, it was a very obvious the issue. so it was pull 98 more bullets and count my blessings each time.
We all need to run a cleaning rod thru the bore before shooting. Don Lewis, long time writer, for The Pennsylvania Game News, relates in the book he wrote, of the time mud daubers, built a nest in his rifle barrel between his times of using a rifle.
This did not happen to the OP, see #57.I'm sorry that this had to happen to you.
However it serves as a reminder to all of us who reload to be very diligent while we reload.
It could have been caused from a myriad of issiues that may or may not have been covered.
I'm just glad that you were not injured !
Maybe some duct tape, too.Vice grips and some loctite should fix it.
I'm so let down I read through 4 pages of guesses and nothing from the OP yet….this is like bad foreplay
But the pain from the blue-balls lingers....Yay…climax
Watch for FS in PX: Lightly used fluted barrel with mid-brake,......er, mid-break. Barely 1-1/2 rounds down the bore. Requires over sized barrel shipping box. Best offer accepted.
