[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 20758, member: 25"] Dave, There obviously were some nasty pressures, would be pure speculation to guess the reason. If you can contact the guy he should send the fired brass and preferably the entire box of ammo back to Winchester. They need an endflap with whatever codes might be present and no doubt would like to take that ammo apart. Takes a lot of pressure to blow a Sako extractor, was it from a 75? The 75 extractor has been modified and is held in better than previous Sako extractors I understand. Anyhow the guy should not shoot any more and he should get that box back to Winchester. I would send it direct rather than back through the dealer he got it from - pain is the butt from Canada maybe but that way he will find out what in hell went wrong - hopefully. Factory ammo does get out with booboos - guy I know recently got a factory loaded 9mm in which the case did not have a flashhole. I had some factory .308's c/w 168's that plain would not chamber in any rifle, ranging from custom built tackdrivers to a Browning lever action and Remington slushbucket (760). Just my thoughts on the deal. ian [/QUOTE]
