I want to use a gray area interjection right now.
What did they mean by "iron"? Was the target made of iron? What was that black, circular piece that fell to the ground right after the guy's head was hit?

Did the round actually come back via trajectory or did it ricochet of something?

It looks like a richocet. I didn't have the sound on, but if he was shooting at a steel target with that powerful of a round, it's quite possible it bounced straight back. Especially if the round was full metal jacket instead of plain lead.
I just found another site showing the same video with a bit of commentary: Ricochet Danger Shown in Video « AccurateShooter.com Bulletin |

Right before it hit him, you can hear a "Bweeeeeewwww"....well, if you say it the way I am saying it, that's how it sounds.
