I can agree with tut on this one. Only other possibility is a base wad but less likely that far up barrel.

The long-shot answer is a live round that made it that far up barrel and discharged when struck by the next fired round. The ragged break lines fore and aft of the rupture seem to indcate possibility of a very high pressure at this point. More so than an obstruction might cause. ???
