hello, Steve , welcome
i think it is indeed necessary to check a certain number of points:
- What is the powder and reload used?
- the primary, is this a standard "large riffle", NOT a magnum ?
- How many times has the case been recharged? 1 , 10 , more ?
- very strong crimping or not? (but unlikely to be the reason)
- brass or lead bullet ?
The feeling of recoil may be an indication of the reason.
In principle, if all the elements are in the standard, the most probable is indeed a faulty case.
on all of the 45-70 ammo that I fired, with the full reload scale covered, I never had this type of incident.

hello everyone , stovepipe Steve here ,imma newbe to the forum as my son recently purchased me a brass Henry big boy 45 colt. Just getting started in cowboy action and completely love the idea of it. From Knoxville TN born and reared my entire life. He to has a 45/70 government that we have been enjoying shooting. Well until recently I might say. I have been doing some of my own reloading to save some money on ammo plus waiting for when SHTF come November. Any how I loaded some extra rounds for him also. While firing it one day I noticed that the lever and the action locked up on it. Wound up having to use steel rod to remove the brass cartridge from the chamber. It had swelled up some when I got it out. I feel I have done something to it or damaged it somehow . Has anyone else ever experienced that and if so what did I do to it and the fix? Thanks everyone 
have a blessed day.
