I dont know of a tool, but a quick and dirty way is use a bore brush of the right size--stick it in till its half way past the chambe and reverse it--this should let you pull out the top half of the case.
Also i have seen cerrosafe used to grab onto the top half of the case--then nock it out and the case comes with it.

The ECHO Broken Shell Extractors are available from: W.J. Riebe Co.
3434 Tucker Rd.
Boise, Idaho 83703
They are the old expanding collet design. If you are caught without one, twist a springy tree branch and shove it in and withdraw--it might or might not work.

I should mention that the ECHO extractor is placed on the bolt face then inserted into chamber and withdrawn (with broken case).

We have removed stuck cases by applying accuraglas to neck end of compatible case and inserting into the stuck case in chamber
allow to dry and then pull both out with bolt.We found it is best to discard stressed brass to start with and the problem will be gone.

Thanks guys, I was out at the range last weekend shooting the 25-06 and several of the fired cases came out just about split. Wanted to be prepared just in case ....
End of life for them, tossed 'em all and am busy neck turning some more.

Doug if you use the glue method make sure none gets into the gun itself. The loctite Dantec mentioned should probably be used sparingly!!!!

If you can find a rat tailed file the right size,you can stick it inside the case,twist,lock it in the case and tap it out with a rod. SIZE MATTERS- scratching the throat is not a good thing.

Super Glue. Let dry 5 minutes and tap out.
If you have the availability, shape (lathe turn, before the need) a wooden dowel. Insert with wet glue, let dry, and tap or pull out. This is for a real over pressure load.
If it's just a case fatigue separation, as you described, then a tight fitting/oversize bore brush will work to dislodge the case.

Oh....and whether it's glue or Locktite, whatever "after effects" may be easily removed from a steel chamber.
Unlike, the effects of a rat-tail file.

I use a .45 bore brush. Push it in, pull it out and go back to shooting. Takes longer to screw the brush on the rod, than it does to get the case out.

Have one of the ECHOs mentioned above since 1966.
Have never had to use it.
Guess its like insurance.
