[QUOTE="charlie 7, post: 1387689, member: 66237"] Horwath [I]Surprised no gas escaped the primer, based on bng's description. At least the firing pin / striker assembly is salvageable for re-use... maybe the bolt handle. Did the chamber swell? bigngreen in his post #300 stated “[B]the barrel shank is swelled.[/B]” [/I] The bolt handle would be perfect, broken by an “unarmed” hand, spring maybe if it wasn’t hammered or butchered by a channel-lock like the firing pin shaft forward of the spring housing. The firing pin looks bent. The pressure must have been tremendous as it not only moulded the case head but also flared the bolt lip/nose ring. One can see same hammering marks there, I’ve asked Winkfish a direct question about it in post 322, no answer, maybe now. All the above can be seen on photo in the original post #1 ( increase the size of photo to see it even better). Winkfish stated previously that the cases were NOT annealed (correctly or incorrectly), I have a further question: what is the head clearance of your loaded ammo, and not relevant in this predicament, another one, do you grease the bolt lugs?
