Case Head Separation Incident Anyone ? ? ?

[Jocko]

Was sorting through my '06 brass checking for "the dip" inside that happens before the dreaded case head separation. Subject came up with a fellow shooter at my local pistol match when another fella says -"just shoot 'em
till they crack, nothing to worry about." Said he's fired many rounds in his M1A & AR when the case head failed and the worst that can happen is part of it stays in the chamber. Thats why you get ruptured case remover.

HMMMM - I thought this occurrence could blow up the rifle and/or put a
person in the hospital.

Am I wrong ? Anyone ever have a case head separation happen ? What occurrs ?


Thanks all
