Only way I can visualize that one, involves two of three issues. With an FLS case, maybe even done with an SB-FLS die (for 308? Used for for Savage 99 ?), a fair amount of shoulder setback, maybe a long seated bullet. Bit of an unusual scenario for sure. How it got past the extractor? That would have to be a really short shoulder, in my mind. I'd want to check fired vs unfired case. Could the primer have enough pressure to jam the edge of a long neck in the throat? Be why he wrecked his rod? It can certainly seat a bullet on a no powder round. I'd guess the primer had enough pressure to push the extractor up and out to the top of the rim, at least, while pushing the case in.
That is one possible line of thought at least.
