[QUOTE="pondskipper, post: 1385286, member: 26430"] Correct but you are thinking of warpage in a single plane, it can cause the barrel to both bend and contract, at the pressures we’re talking it doesn’t take much for it to cause major issues with pressure in general, likely it could have been saved as well, no reason to cut it up either. It didn’t explode he just had a stuck case which means it was something fairly minor like a tight bore due to the cold, if it had blown up or cracked something I’d be more inclined to agree with a hang fire idea. They are much more violent than what actually happened prior to whoever got their hands on it and cut it to pieces. As for the bullets, likely lead core with a thin jacket. Lead has very little thermal expansion so they likely weren’t the cause. [/QUOTE]
