[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2785312, member: 29706"] Came across this today and it looks like someone was using a lever action 45/70 with reloaded ammo that was not crimped. The last round fired in the rifle had the bullet pushed too far into the brass and caused the pressure to increase to the point of catastrophic failure.
