He had a failure to fire due to no powder in the case but the bullet lodged in the bore. He then fired another shot with the bored obstructed is what I understand.I have read all four pages of this and have absolutely no idea what the OP did.
My barrel didn’t split fortunately but the muzzle ID grew a little. Bore sighter still stuck in the brake.
I personally haven’t seen a primer lodge a bullet far enough into the rifling to allow another round to chamber. I’ve had a couple in my ppc that I accidentally didn’t put powder in and never moved the bullet. I’m guessing pistol powder or an extremely low powder charge.He had a failure to fire due to no powder in the case but the bullet lodged in the bore.

Don’t think will happen. Since the bullets were gone re the ‘range master’ and the the picture text says they are there ( I have no idea what any of the pics show especially with the accompanying text)..OK be nice if he clarified the details.
LOL. I did read it and thought I had it figured out but seemingly I missed the mark as well. Oh well, it is what it is Bro.Don’t think will happen.

If you’re not confused you haven’t read the very first post by the OP.
I actually hope this whole thing was an attempt at humor.
I was less confused by some of fguffy’s posts.
I think there’s nothing wrong with sarcasm in this scenario. If I ever had a situation like this (not yet), I’d forget about airing it out to the whole shooting community. If for the small chance I did post it, I think humbled accountability would be the only response to ANY feedback. I also build guitar amplifiers and I’m members of several music/guitar forums and it’s really unbelievably at the amount of hurt feelings and grumbling that occurs after someone is reminded how dumb their process was that led to catastrophic failure. I’m human just like everyone else and I make mistakes. I also choose how many people I invite to observe my mistakes.Don’t think will happen.

I was probably just one lucky SOB over the years. I had several rounds that didn't go bang. Never had one bullet leave the case. Each time I extracted the round, inspected it, shook it to see if I could tell if it was a dud primer or no powder. Rechambered and tried it again. No bank. Pulled the bullets when I got home and found no powder. I can also remember a couple times that three was powder. Bad primer. Very rare. I started off with a Lee hand re-loader kit back in 68. Had several mag primers go bank while driving the case down on the primer. The driving rod that you pounded on with a nylon primer never came up with enough force for me to loose a grip on it. Maybe with almost no neck tension it might. Don't know what happen. I wasn't there. I know a guy that did have a bullet leave the case that had no powder but that is for another story.He had a failure to fire due to no powder in the case but the bullet lodged in the bore.

Understandable, me too.I'm confused
I also don't look through my scope when fireforming. The rifle is on the rest, pointing safely down range into a dirt bank. No need to as not interested in the groups. Very important to always feel for that full recoil every time the trigger is pulled, whether fireforming or not. It is a good thing the corner of the bolt blew off. If it hadn't, you most likely would have faced a much harsher surprise, as the gas that was diverted out the corner of the bolt would have otherwise created huge pressure that the vent would likely not have been able to accommodate.Yeah we always learn so many lessons from our mistakes, I admit that I made a mistake at the first place and asked a question about the accuracy of the rifle at the end of the day, no need to look for an angle in my words to make fun of me! There are always some people in any community that force newbies not to ask their questions or share their thoughts!
