[QUOTE="milo-2, post: 2309778, member: 33622"] Try a tap to get the case out. Don't use one so big you scratch the die. Classic casehead separation, yes, pitch all the brass. The dent up by the shoulders is from gas escaping from the cracks in the brass above the belt. Usually caused by overbumping the brass. But excessive case growth can occur easily with belted magnums. Inspect your chamber, make sure gases didn't do any cutting of the chamber walls. [/QUOTE]
