removing broken case from die

[MarinePMI]

Or maybe not. But we are digressing from a chap who managed to separate a head from the case, in a die. Not sure that he has actually resolved that problem yet.



Seems that if you eff up you can truly stick a live cartridge into a barrel. Even more so than into a die. Oooh, it feels a bit tight, lean on the bolt handle, nope, not going in. Nor coming out.

Or let a semi-auto do it's worst.

Grease gun method ? Maybe watch Johnny's reloading bench. over a million people have watched just this vid.

Yeah, that method (grease) works too, if the barrel is threaded and you have (or can make) an endcap with a grease zerk.

Yep, I have seen this happen, twice, at the range, with our neutered straight pull AR15s. Both with tight match chambers.

A difficult one for the RCOs, are they going to let them off the range with a live round almost up the spout, or try to pound it out with a cleaning rod there and then ??? (Ahem, no DIY at the range was the decision, once they had left it was not really the RCOs responsibility, or so they thought, as to what the owners then did next, elsewhere They did get some strong advice to leave it to a professional and not try to do it at home.

Hmm, sense prevailed, both shooters took their rifles back to Southern Gun Company who had made their very expensive rifles, to let Fat Bob sort it out.

IIRC he slightly re-chambered them as well. Who'd have thought it, buy one of his things, shoot factory ammo through it, and this happened.

Agreed. Sounds like a gunsmith trying to make an AR something it was not supposed to be (a match .223 chambered gun). Smh...
