Ouch!

I’m going with Widder’s scenario. If the shooter was loading as claimed, a double bullet makes the most sense.
 

It’s rare, but I’ve had the “bullet suck” scenario occur where one gets sucked/stuck in the seating die. It’s relatively easy to spot if you’re paying attention on a progressive press, but a moment’s inattention can be disastrous, especially if a bullet feeder is being used.

I was on the same line as a new outdoor handgun shooter, at Connaught Ranges when there was a KA-BOOM similar to that one!

An older gent, who loaded his own and shot a Webley .455, blew his gun up, leaving it looking similar to the OP..

It almost made me not want to start reloading.

Almost.
