Just a thought - could this have been caused by a larger-than-caliber bullet in the Federal cartridge? I ask this because I've heard (on THR) of an instance where a single round of .308 was found in a box of Federal .243 ammo. If a round of (say) .338, or 8mm. Mauser, was inserted in the box, would it have been possible to chamber it, and then have the "swaging" effect of firing the round cause the explosion?
