You're really lucky there wasn't any damage to the rifle... I agree with others that this was probably a recalled lot or they wouldn't replace it. Could be wrong but it sure sounds likely...

I had an acquaintance that bought a box of Rem .270 about that time and one of the rounds had the brass pushed back almost to the shoulder on one side. Like it caught on the case mouth on the way into the crimp die. I was with him when we took them back to the store and we insisted that the only reason we were returning them was so that the box would be shipped back to Remington. I don't know if they did or not but they did give him a new box of ammo even though he had shot 4 or 5 rounds from that box.
