[QUOTE="ResearchinStuff, post: 1645702, member: 67843"] Based on what he wrote, and without pictures, I do not believe that he had case head separation, but rather had a severely stuck case. This caused the extractor to either rip off a part of the rim, or to slip over the rim, allowing the bolt to be removed with the case still stuck in the chamber. I know this can happen with a rem 700 style extractor and cases that are too long because 13 year old me did the same thing. I now trim all cases to the trim-to length on every firing, and have never had another issue. [/QUOTE]
