Not much else will chamber ... except maybe a short action round??? Never thought hard about it though.
Unless you find one used, I doubt you will find a factory barrel.
Aftermarket is going to be the only option, unless you send it back to Browning.
If you go aftermarket there are a lot of options, you will just need it fit to the action

Only round similar that may chamber would be a 6.5-06. I doubt you could close the bolt on a 270 Win round in a 25-06. None of the belted magnums would ever chamber in that gun.

Curious as to what happened when the trigger was squeezed? Factory ammo or handloads? Was is very difficult to open the bolt or was there a lot of gas venting from the action after the shot? Was the primer pierced? Post a picture of the case and we can tell a lot from that.
