ispcapt has a point here that all reloaders should take note of, and actually all shooters. Tests have shown a rapid increase in pressure on .40 S&W ammunition when the bullet is seated just a little deeper than it should be. This may have contributed to the damage. I would consider sending it back to Smith for their analysis, along with all the information about the incident.
