The bulge in a barrel is almost always cause by something that was blocking the barrel when a round was discharge behind it. Typically, it's a stuck bullet.
The bulge is really the result of a long column of air being forcibly squeezed in to a VERY small space as the moving (just fired) bullet swiftly approaches the one that is stuck. Both often exit and the ring is left behind.
