If you had a squib 500 magnum I think you would surely know it.

How many rounds previously fired from that revolver?

If the 1st round maybe the factory fitting of the barrel to the frame was too tight and caused a narrowing just forward of the forcing cone.

Something was wrong/went wrong in the forcing cone area.

Modern manufacturing cost cutting methods?
