I had the wad stick in the barrel of my gun once. I caught it before I chambered another round though. I was using remington shells. I had bought a case of them that year and had 21 of them fail. 7 in one day. But all but that one had ejected the wad. I will not use remington shells ever again. Surprising that was with Kent's- I have always had good luck with Kent's. Glad you are relatively ok- very scary situation for sure. Good thing your partner was not immediately to your right.

Well first things first, glad you are safe and in one piece. 

Never have I seen that happen.  Are you 100% certain that a wad lodged in the choke of that gun caused that much back pressure?  The reason I ask is that for all that gas to come back to you you need a blockage and a wad should not be a strong enough blockage.  By the very design wads are made to travel down the barrel and exit.  Not sure of the make of gun you are shooting but if it is a gas powered auto I would definitely have a good gunsmith check your gas system out thoroughly.  If it is a pump then I wouldn't even speculate as to the cause.

If pump maybe some how the gun fired before chamber fully closed?
Don't read my post if facts hurt your feeling.

That’s a more feasible explanation than the wad sticking.  The photo shows the bolt partially open like it wasn’t fully in battery when it fired blowing the bolt back and extruding the shell.

so out of all the people that had this similar thing happen, how much were using semi-autos?  I've had my pump Mossberg 500 go off before the bolt was fully closed, and it gets the forgrip stuck way back.

Mine was a semi-auto.
Twisted the barrel, destroyed the gas system, bolt was stuck in the rear of the receiver.
Total loss.
I had and x-tra full turkey choke and #2 steel shot.
I used it the season before with no trouble.  :dunno:

Which is odd because the shots were not close together and I felt the forearm stop when going forward.

The barrel was clear. But it could have just barely got out.
The OP's gun was a pump, much stronger in the breach than an auto.
 I'm surprised at how well his gun held up compared to what mine did.

I gave the destroyed gun to my hunting partner, I will try and get it from him for some pics on this topic.

Similar situation in 08.  Bennelli Nova pump.  The end of the barrel split open, I knew something wasn't right when the shot went almost straight down into the water.  Fortunately, checked it right away, and noone got hurt.

Sad part is, it was a buddy's gun that I usually hunted with.  Had to call and tell him the news, but Bennelli replaced it, can only assume it was a gun malfunction.  :dunno:

Good news that you are okay man, stuff like that can be freaky.

The wad was from the shell that exploded. I am thankful for that. Had it been the other way, it could have been alot worse.

Glad you were not hurt.  Any word from Kent?
