[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4388732, member: 15054"] Look at the case on the left. The rim has been pulled out of shape by the extractor. This is from the case sticking in the chamber. Could be from over pressure and that over pressure can be caused by the bullet "Welding" itself into the case neck. Old ammo this can happen to and sometimes just a year old can cause welding/sticking projectiles in the case. If I see a line or crack I will check it with a paper clip that I straightened out and bent into an L shape and the bottom of the L will hook or let you feel the crack from inside the case. I pinch them flat when I find a bad one. Or i insert some copper wire into the case in a U shape with the rounded part of the U sticking up out of the case by 1/2" or so. Then fill the case with molten lead. Instant fishing sinker. Plug primer hole with an old primer of course. [/QUOTE]
