My understanding was it was still lodged in the barrel
How is this possible?
.270 Win chamber is larger than the.308 Win chamber but is has the same bolt face and case diameter. The bolt grabbed the round and allowed the firing pin to strike the primer. The round went off and the bullet was forced down the barrel. .308 is not that much larger than .270 so it would shave the copper off the outside of the projectile but not stop it from going down the barrel. Probably had a lot of copper shavings in the chamber.
Looks to me like something of this sort might happen if there was already a round chambered and then another round was attempted to be chambered. The pointy thing on the end of the round might ding the primer of the chambered round and Ka-Boom. I think they may refer to this as operator error.
Biodynamic research San Antonio it won't be cheap to have them diagnose it they do research on equipment and stuff like that for lawsuits they that is the company the lawyers used for the Dale Earnhardt Sr death
I can not imagine pulling the trigger and this happening on a high power rifle! Glad he is OK
Hopefully he can look at the fired case and see if it is the right cal. If he can get it out of the gun!
I think I would talk to a gunsmith and/or lawyer on this. I would want to know what happen for my piece of mind and to be sure it never happens again. If it is ammo related I would want them to replace gun at least.
A guy on my lease was telling me when he went to shoot his rifles before season this year one of his barrels was plugged with a dirt dauber nest. He was glad he looked down his barrel before hand.
