Something loose in the action allowing the bolt to slide back before the bullet clears the muzzle, allowing gas expansion to occur inside the brass.
It looks as though they were fired completely out of battery. Or they were the two rounds directly beneath a round that fired partially out of battery. There doesn't appear to have been any chamber support whatsoever. Perhaps they were loaded as shot in a 12 gauge?
You decided to do more shooting without figuring out what caused the first kaboom? I'm not sure brave is the proper descriptive.decided it was fine and did some more shooting
After the first explosion I looked down to see if my hand was still there and it was a little black but unharmed.
