Your friend is a lucky guy/gal. Not sure how anything other than an obstruction could cause that to happen. I look forward to the replies.

Those RST 2.5 Ultra Lites are 3/4 oz @ 1100fps. A very light load with almost zero recoil in my Parker 20s. Those are my favorite shells for shooting clays. That is a scary picture and I am glad your friend is okay.

Could a 28 Ga. shell have been down in that barrel? That is quite the explosion

"An over-charge would not cause that kind of burst that far from the chamber."
I agree with Dean. THIS would be a (very) over-charge blow out

Most likely a stuck wad obstruction from the previous shot fired in that barrel. Very, very unfortunate.
