Yes, overpressure rounds can do significant damage and could ruin your barrel and bolt. Dump the powder out of one and weigh it. Then check against a reloading manual for type of powder - ball, extruded, flake etc. Also, the primers may be magnum, which would add to the overpressure. The bullets may be over crimped too.It could be someone's reloads but I usually try to avoid those. It looks like factory but not new factory.
So it sounds like caused could be overloaded rounds or bad primer or bad firing pin.
Last question is can it damage a rifle?
Stop using that ammo. It's either loaded too hot, too sharp of a firing pin, or too much clearance between the firing pin and firing pin channel.Sorry. This is a model 700 sendero in 22-250. Upon firing the rifle im getting blowback and (wish I could post a photo) the primer discinagrated.
Smoke came back into mag well.
I don't recall where I got the ammo but suspect it came with a rifle purchase some time back

If the ammo "may" have come with the rifle how certain are you that these are factory loads? Many people use factory boxes to store their reloads in.
