[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 211867, member: 2261"] Sorry to hear about your plight. I had a total separation in my .308 - long story; after letting it sit overnight to think about what I was going to do, it tried two differnt approaches; neither of which should harm the firearm and the second of which worked for me; first I took my cleaning rod and regular sized nylon brush, carefully pushed it in from the muzzle and tried to snag the brass that way. I could feel it but it did n't come out. NExt I took the same wooden dowel that I use for testing seating depth and throat when using my Stoney Point gizmo, and pushed it in from the muzzle end. After a few tries I managed to pop out teh offending front 2/3 of the case (its possible the brush gizmo loostened it enough for the other part to work). JeffVN [/QUOTE]
