How?
OK, so what’d he do? Handloads, probably. Double charge, probably.
Apparently a bad hand load. I saw this (along with 7 more) the other day here: http://americangg.net/when-good-guns-go-boom-8-catastrophic-gun-failures/
That is exactly where I got it from.

Thanks NYC, and I’m betting a double charge… Scary, and a waste of a great gun!
Well, at least it didn’t jam
Most .44 Magnum loads fill too much of the case for a double charge – I think it’s more likely he used the wrong powder; if you want a maximum charge of, say “296” powder, and instead use “231” . . . a kaboom is likely.
