RE: rifle detonation again
Sure looks like an over-pressure/overcharge to these old eyes.

RE: rifle detonation again
It would be interesting to measure the length of the remains of that case. If the chamber ringed at the location of the dovetail milled into the bottom of the barrel, it would make that spot (combination dovetail and ring at the same spot) weak and more likely to rupture there. The ring will occur near the bullet base, leaving the case shorter when it separates, right?

RE: rifle detonation again
Look'n closer at the chamber in the first picture-Is that the normal leade for those rifles? That's just doesn't look 'rite'.
Could the case have separated also??

How thick could barrel material be at the dove-tail area? looks pretty thin to these old eyes, just sayin'.
That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!

Don't forget, that those guns have to pass an Ital'n proof house.
No gun made here in the USA has to.
Still doesn't stop STUPID------

Proof loads for the 'Peter' are 30% above our SAAMI.
Nut'n can prevent STUPID-
