I just don't believe this. Wasn't he paying attention to the target? Wasn't it obvious something was not right?

This guy is lucky to still have hands.

That doesn't even seem possible. There had to be next to zero powder in the rounds.

Wasn't he paying attention to the target?

Isn't the instruction usually, "stop looking at the target and concentrate on the front sight"? Maybe sometimes you do need to look at the target.

I've seen that photo before, at least I think I have, and I thought it was a deliberate test.

Had a guy come into the gun shop I used to work at with something similar. Fired all six from a 586. Last one was half in cylinder and half in forcing cone. The shop used to have the barrel somewhere. No bulges or cracks in the barrel.

Happens more often than you'd think. Here's an Airweight J-frame that filled the bore, reloaded, and then noticed something was wrong when a bullet got jammed up halfway between cylinder and forcing cone. (You can see that some vigor was used in trying to open the cylinder.)
