Took my Garandicon to the range last week with 60 rounds of reloaded ammunition and all went well until the last enbloc. The first round fired ok with no indication of any problem and the second round was stripped from the clip and only went halfway into battery. I manually ejected the second round and found it had entered the broken section of the first round which had remained in the chamber after it had completely separated from the head. Never did find the cartridge head.

Some basic lessons in reloading resurfaced in my mind after this incident.
1. Be careful when reloading brass multiple times. Brass is less expensive than hospital bills.
2. If you're going to reload the same brass after multiple firings check each case carefully for signs of imminent case separation.
