Destry and Keith are correct. I just communicated with the shooter, and when the blow out occurred the gun was dropped to the ground landing in snow. After dealing with the injury, other Club members picked up the gun and the one piece of barrel that could be found. The event occurred on Tuesday, and he did not recover the gun until Friday and found the hull and chamber to be wet and there was already rust on the chamber and barrel wall.

He will send me his reload recipe.
