[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2155071, member: 313"] A BR shooter that I occasionally ran into at our club had a similar experience with his heavy BR rifle. I think he was shooting a 6PPC. He had a case fail to extract and tapped it out with a brass rod. I guess he got distracted when viewing the removed case and left the brass rod in the bore. Sad to say but he fired the next round and had a catastrophic event. Receiver blew and sent steel into his face. He was practicing alone at the time and didn't have anyone to help. Somehow he managed to get away from the range and to a medical facility. He eventually recovered from most of the injuries but lost his shooting eye. Just a reminder of how bad things can quickly get if you are distracted when shooting. [/QUOTE]
