the wonderment of it is he reloaded that case three times before whatever happened, happened.That's a damned little shoulder to headspace off of..

Yeah. Weird.the wonderment of it is he reloaded that case three times before whatever happened, happened.
It's amazing the extractor wasn't damaged. Did you have to force the slide open?So this was a new kind of strange for me, went out to shoot this morning and about 200 rounds in I had a failure to extract (had to use a rod to clear the chamber). When I looked at the case I was astonished at what I was looking at the base or rim buckled. At first I thought out of battery discharge but the shoulder and case mouth are in good condition which means it had to be fully chambered or there would have been mouth or shoulder damage. The case Winchester has only been loaded maybe 3 times and the load was a mid range of hs6 under a 124gr berrys thick plated fn. What are your guys thoughts on this? Should I be greatful that I still got my fingers?View attachment 436751
Nope. What resulted appeared like a double feed, slide 3/4 open with the case pictured lodged in the chamber. So the case buckled and yet there was enough thrust somehow to push the slide back and begin a new round.It's amazing the extractor wasn't damaged. Did you have to force the slide open?
Just seems like the primer would be flatter and the case head would be more beat up and have at least an ejector scar if the pressure got sketchy. .357 Sig runs at like 40,000 psi and the headstamp on that case isn't severly beaten. I see 9mm major brass out at the club that often looks far worse. Weirdness. I'd love to see a cross section of that case.My guess is when the round chambered the bullet was pushed into the case. When fired the over pressure forced the case back causing the squished case.
I don't have a Dremel but I might be able to get a good cut with my hacksaw...Just seems like the primer would be flatter and the case head would be more beat up and have at least an ejector scar if the pressure got sketchy. .357 Sig runs at like 40,000 psi and the headstamp on that case isn't severly beaten.
