It’s going to turn out to be a reload where somebody put rifle powder into the cartridge. By accident.

I’m glad no one was hurt, and it’s unfortunate that a reasonably expensive shotgun was destroyed in the event.
I'm just saying- that I always check my barrels when I load my gun to make sure there is no obstruction. Some people don't. That's all I'm saying. smile

Given the number of reported defective factory cartridges in the past few years that would be a likely recommended process. And catching the carts along with blowing the smoke out of the barrels has a definite cool factor.

Last year at the local club we had a member who had 4 bloopers out of a new box of Winchester AA 12 gauge skeet loads (9 shot). Contacted Winchester and they asked for the lot number and sent him a brand new flat. It happens for sure.
