A patch left in the bore....you were using your powder thrower loading pistol cartridges and left a charge in it....wrong size bullet. ...my guesses
Can you guess what caused this failure?

Maybe, but a can of compression is a sure thing. Esp. in a diesel!!!
Good morning Bean! Have a terrific day brother. Shoot straight!
If it was a patch left in the bore....bet there's no evidence of it now!
Yes it is Skoppy and right back at ya
I hear they have improved those cans of compression for old diesel engines. They have made 'em lighter and cheaper. I guess I can use the mule to get it out to the field. I am gonna have to use the mule to drag the cowdozer until it starts 'cause somebody thought they need the starter motor more than me. And they musta took the brake lights, too, 'cause there ain't none on the machine. Also, I got a flat on the right rear track and I cain't figure out where to hook up the air hose to pump it up. I'm thinking I may need to fly skipglo down for a hog hunt and to fix this cowdozer once and for all.
Never seen that before. I am surprised that the barrel didn't explode instead of bending. Wants to make you get another table to shoot from and stay away from others. Never know what going to happen. Hopefully everybody is OK.

You're wrong good sir! OP clearly thought this was an orange and decided to peel it. The jokes on all of us.

I think he looked casually at the pic and didn't notice the Metal blended in with the wood..lol...I missed it myself...
That's good, because it's extremely unlikely.
I have several rifles that I've gone over 1500 rounds without cleaning. They eventually did pressure up, but it was fairly gradual and certainly not going from "everything is fine" to "gun explode" in one shot.
After my post. I looked at the picture more. Sure split the barrel. He's luck that the rifle was rested. If hand held, I would think he would have lost some fingers or possible a hand. I would say if he put 1500 round through the tube without cleaning it isn't to smart.
