[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1077607, member: 18849"] OP... Glad you got it out with method two..usually they are fairly loose... Some great ingenuity out there in half case retrieval...Had to laugh at the poor guy who used the file and the case wasn't there.....It probably fell out somewhere between the field and his work station.....That's how loose those devils can be... Korhil78....No offense taken...we all know there is 'some' risk cleaning from the muzzle end and I should have pointed that out...also I should have said the .243 brush in the .223 bore will only travel one direction and his cleaning rod rod has to be long enough to allow him to unscrew the brush once it comes through...sorry about that.....but that method provides the best grip on the broken case neck for pushing on the neck without putting outward pressure on the case wall...I have used a combo with an over sized brush several times over the years and the case always plopped right out.... I have never tried the same combination from the breach for fear if I pushed in too far I couldn't pull it back but with a little bit of measuring I guess a person could figure it out....And it might be more effective yet with that "chinese handcuff" effect in the neck portion...Maybe would work with bore size brush because of the smaller inside neck diameter. The larger brush on the breach end is probably the safest bet for first try in any case. Lefty, seems like cleaning from the muzzle end has become much more dangerous to the barrel crowns with the internet becoming more widely used! Happy shooting everybody, Randy [/QUOTE]
