[QUOTE="Marble, post: 1380822, member: 51354"] I had a similar experience shooting 200 ABs in my RUM. I'm not near my notes but the load is about 93 grains of retumbo. It was probably in the high teens the day mine happened. Broke the bolt off the gun and eventually took it to a Smith. They unscrewed the barrel and everything was just fine. I did not know what the actual cause of the issue was, but thought it was probably debris that got into the beach causing the lugs to get hung up. We had been crawling through snow after a herd of Elk. My dad had wounded a bull, long story short, we got the bull. Rifle handle broke and was welded back on. It doesn't seem like debris would be the issue here. I am curious to get the bullet pulled, barrel inspected and some type of diagnosis given. Is it possible there was some type of weakness in the case, letting the explosion go through the shell and welding it to the chamber? [/QUOTE]
