Problem with a Colt 1860 Army Signature Series

By volume, I guess, not many people load these things from a scale.
Apparently it ruptured the single chamber loaded and two adjacent ones, thankfully empty. The blast went straight up and no harm came to the shooter.

This gun and a few other "early modern" bp revolvers came to me from an Uncle that passed away. Shot it many times and, like I mentioned, it is a bit unwilling when it comes to assembly, but it shoots straight.
