The rebored barrel blew with factory 35 Whelen.

The customer was mad with the gunsmith, who claimed the shooter was an idiot.
I am of the opinion the gunsmith was a back yard mechanic type, monkey see, monkey do.
And the customer even less educated.
There is much more to this anecdotal story than meets the eye because LOTS of factory 30-06 barrels have been rebored to 35 whelen without blowing up.

Beat me to it.
Maybe it was the re bore, or maybe it was when the customer mistook bullseye for 4831.
