Scrounging up my brass I found one of my fired 45 LRN perfectly intact...right in front of the 'firing line'. No indications it ricocheted off anything. It wasn't a squib.

Only a coupla explanations. Most folks claim that a primer is capable of pushing a well lubricated lead bullet outta a barrel, but not by much. That in itself will not cycle a autoloader tho. You should have experienced a FTF or the action not locking back on the last round. If the bullet has a dent in the back(even ever so slight) it may have been stuck and shot out with the next round. But that too should have not cycled the firearm. Shooting into dirt sometimes can leave a bullet almost perfect. If you shot into snow this winter, it too will stop a bullet quite quickly and not leave a mark on it. Someone else may have found the unmarked round at the berm and brought it back by the deck. Does your buddy have kids?
