Yes, lucky shooter that day, deffinatly an eye opener at the shooting match.
A bolt stop made of tin will most likely not stop a bolt from a blow-out since the pressure is to much.

Remington model 700 was the rifle. Yes, purhaps the shooter had a hang-fire,,, then was unloading when it went off.

The range master and the rest of the group did not find the fired case, the bolt looked just like new,,, lugs and bolt handle all in tact.

Pretty scary situation none the less, the only person that really knows what happend was the shooter him self, I'm still trying to imagine how the bolt cleared his face without taking a hit.

Good call on the hang-fire as this makes sense. He might of had the click, lifted his head to open the bolt as the charge finally ignited.

Had he been in the cheek -weld position, he would of most likely took the hit.

Its making sence now looking at it from that angle.
