shell blew apart in my chamber

[bcnewfie]

I was out duck hunting earlier and a shell blew apart in my chamber when I shot. The bottom ring of brass totally seperated, The other piece of brass stuck in my breach, The wadding blew out the bottom of my gun and the shell crumpled and got stuck on my bolt. I was shooting 3 inch winchester super X xpert 2 shot. I am 99.9% sure I didn't have any obsctructions in my gun. Anyone ever have this happen or hear of it? Oh yeah I finally have my hearing back lol. Can't figure out how to post a pic from my phone sorry guys. Just looking for any ideas of what happened. (Faulty shell?)

Thanks

How do you pronounce that...is it Weatherbee or Weatherbye?

Mud in the barrel? Corroded brass.
Glad no injury to you

Whetherbuh.

that is really unusual though. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

All cleaned and taken apart last night and I was taking good care of it today but weird things can happen I suppose. Some of the shells had a bit of surface rust nothing serious. I've burned through endless amounts of rusty brass. My first thought was corrosion but the shells are about a month old and ain't that bad

Yes I emailed winchester just to see what they got to say about it. Cracked the locking block in my bolt to when she went off. What a day. Got the bird I was shooting at anyway

is your gun suitable for 3" shells?...

Have a look on the weatherby website, I think there was an "important notice " about a recall.
