The range was The American Shooting Center in Houston. (The numbnuts did not even know where the first aid kit was!).
I don't recall the entire story, but it had something to do with a tight chamber, forcing the op rod into battery - something like that.
No tightness nor forcing of anything. Thirteenth bullet was placed in the chamber, same as the previous twelve. The bolt was properly engaged and no finger was on the trigger. As the gun was being brought up to the shoulder it went KA-BOOM!

I was going by memory, and no doubt many of the speculative comments I saw posted online were as firmly rooted in my mind as was the image. Everybody in the web forums is an expert in such matters, you know. ;-)
I'll have to make it down to Houston for one of the shoots; it seems a lot closer now that I live in the same state.
