F olks,
Went to sight in a 10 inch .223 barrel in prep for working up loads with the Bator boolit with Brown Bear ammo. (Laquered steel case)
Have been shooting this ammo in a rifle length Contender for some time.
First shot, the case stuck and instead of doing the smart thing and taking the barrel off, I forced the action open by hand and broke the extractor.
To get the case out I had to smack it, (several,several times) with a cleaning rod and a hammer.
I *suspect* that the laquer stuck the case, but as I said, I have been using it in another Contender barrel, and using Brown Bear ammo in other calibers and this is the first time I have had any kind of problem.
Any thoughts or experience with this?
