Had one malfunction today. Went to clear it and the top portion of the spent round was jammed against the round trying to be chambered. Found the lower portion 5 feet away... [emoji848]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9b4a09fe4d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1512dee2ca.jpg

Case separation at it's finest!!
Never have had this happen. It's from my huge batch of target .223 I loaded.Quote:

Kinda freaked me out for a minute. I've had cases split at the mouth on both pistol and rifle but nothing like this.Quote:

300 blackout bolt action. Same thing. Tried to chamber the next round, wouldn’t go in.

So far I haven't had it happen yet. I've had split long ways and noticed one cracked part of the way around after picking it up.

Damn! I suppose we're lucky that only the brass was destroyed and not our rifles or our faces...Quote:

I suppose when you consider how many thousands of rounds I've fired one is bound to happen...Quote:

Had a guy come shoot with me a while back and he brought along his 44 mag Rossi lever gun. He said "man, I've been having to really pull up hard on the lever to chamber a shell and push real hard on the lever to eject a shell. Something is binding up in the lever I think". I took a look in the chamber and noticed immediately he had half of a case stuck in the chamber!

Very fortunate. I have had a ruger blackhawk explode in my hand. Luckily nobody was hurt. And that my friends is why you never let someone talk to you while you're loading ammo. Double charged a test load. It was supposed to be 8gr of 231.

Wow, glad you're OK!
I like to use something like this, a dental scaper, to run inside the case to feel for any cracks/separations/aberrations, etc.

Pick up a broken shell extractor for an AR. I leave it in my range bag just in case. I have never needed to use it, but had had case separation with 22lr before.

Are you using the Smith and Wesson BCG? Extractor look OK? Honestly though probably just a bad case.Quote:

Dental pick and penetrating oil.
Used to have case head seperation quite often when trying to obtain the "magic" 3000fps with a 300gr from my Ruger #1H chambered in 458Lott. --- SAWMAN
Yup, I'm using S&W BCG, no damage to the gun at all. Probably a small miracle.Quote:

Ran awesome! Even did a couple of mag dumps for shits and giggles. That was the only malfunction thus far.Quote:

Cool bud. Glad to hear. Chuck it up as a bad case. Might want to get a case extractor just in case it happens again. Amazon has a UTG for 9 bucks if you are interested. Brownells is 20. Yet I'm sure Brownells is better. I have the UTG.Sent from my SM-N910V using TapatalkQuote:
