On the range day before yesterday and had a round go south on me in the chamber. When I pulled the bolt back on the 308 Norma all I got was the case head as the rest of the brass was still sequestered in the chamber. That ended my days shooting. Did a little research on the net and found this tip. Use a tap in the receiver end and drive it into the blown shell casing with a wooden dowel so that the cutting teeth bite into the internal dia of of shell. Then take a cleaning rod from the muzzle end and carefully and gently tap out the shell case.
At the time of the incident I was wearing shooting glasses. This time I was lucky as I did not get a face full of gas and powder but it could have gone the other way. Reloaders always wear your safety gear when shooting.
