While shooting today I hade a case failure. The rimmed base cleanly separated from the round and the bullet lodged 3/4 down the barrel. I was shooting an old marlin lever gun but it appears to be the ammo's fault. It did spook me as it blasted me in the face from the explosion but I was grateful it happened to me rather than the kids.
This was a golden bullet and once we dislodged it from the barrel, the projectile does look misformed, but I don't remember anything abnormal when loading it. I had the casing base but lost it.
I have had squib rounds and non firing rounds but have never seen one do this.
