So we find a spot to shoot today, thank you to to the DNR LEO we saw, he was a lot of good help and information.
I shot 3 of the first 5 rounds.. again, this is 2 grains under near max. They were shooting great, velocity is a little low, but that is ok, group is looking like I am used to.. nickel to dime size. I shoot the 4th round, and it shoots about 1/4 in higher than the rest. However, when I extract and eject, I only get the case body... NO NECK.. it is stuck in the chamber.. :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: I stop by the local gunsmith and he and his tool can not get it out. :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:
I know and have seen that Ackley rounds sometimes do this, but this is my first experience with it.... NOW WHAT! :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: without the proper extraction tools, I am wondering how to proceed.

Sounds like your case necks are too thick, and need to be turned down to make a bit of room for expansion when the round is fired.

It is just this one case... the others fired fine. I know these were fire formed as new shells and this is the first loading since. I will do some measuring though, to double check.

oh it would of been fine my gun shot all her test loads like a little champ...... and the wizzum once the scope was squared away you couldn't make a bad group with...dang I like that little camo gun :chuckle: :chuckle: but when the shell ejected no neck gotta admit it was a bit odd.... so 2 of the three rifles we took had a great day :)

Yes, your little 7-08 and the AR 243 wssm shot great. Nice tiny little groups right where we aimed them...

I then gave it a slight tap then turned it a little until I felt the threads had caught the inside of the stuck case neck. I then took a crescent wrench and turned it down so that it was the same diameter as the bolt, I then slid it over the bolt and snugged it up against the bolt head and gave the crescent a tap with a large screw driver handle and out popped the case neck.
This was done with a .300 Win Mag and also a .375 H&H.

The only thing I'll add to everyone else's suggestions would be to soak it in Kroil or some other penetrating oil for a night before trying to extract it. I've used this trick a few times for people who don't like to clean their brass or chamber. ;)
Andrew
Will give it a try..
Not sure why this one brass did this, because the gun/chamber was clean, and the brass was clean as well.

I know they make some stuck case remover that is supposed to be good stuff. Might look for it john. Probably just kroil with a different label :chuckle:

I still have not made it to the post office to mail the extra mag, I just picked up the bunk house cabinets today from Ziggy's and will be busy this week getting those installed and counter tops done.

I have two mags,, so am ok till you can make it to the post office..
and yea, I put a Weaver cv10 2-10 on it, got it all cinched down, then realized I had no way to bore site it. So, on a wing and a prayer, shot low and center of paper.. was shooting 6 in. left, but dead on for height... got it adjusted over, and it is hitting right where you aim.. :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup:
Now am looking for decent one in .223. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Next time, bore sight it like any bolt gun.
Later today, I'll post a photo or two of how I support the AR when I'm bore sighting.
