Have seen similar before....and saw it happen to. Ruger M77 in 7mm RM. Guy pulled the trigger on a hand load minus the powder. Primer forced the projectile up the bore a third of the way. Don't asked me how or why, the next live round was loaded and set off ...split the barrel like the banana...3 ways... totally wrecked the action and stock, but the guy walked away with a bit of schrapnel cuts, mild powder burns and ringing ears....so so lucky.
I've got a pick of it somewhere and will try to load up load it....UNBELIEVABLE MESS
Moral to the story, pay attention when your reloading, and check the bore...
