Case head separated - damaged rifle!

Why do these "failure" threads always degenerate into a cat-herding circle j*ck?

Too much tension?

3 guesses. First 2 don't count.

Why doesn’t he rave about bullet heads? Now that a crusade I would support.

I wonder if something like Hoppes copper solvent could slowly eat away the case. I've noticed that my brass cleaning brushes tend to get smaller and smaller (partly from just being used to clean out a steel rifled barrel) when I use solvent on them to clean out barrels. Again, it might just be the scrubbing action of a brass brush against a steel barrel, or it might be copper solvent actually eating away the brush.

Brass is made of copper and zinc.
So if you are using a copper solvent, it is also attacking the brass bristles of the brushes.

I have a barrel cleaning process I use that is different than methods and or techniques used by smiths and reloaders. I had two dumpsters full of material that I could not hide so I had to learn to use the material.

reloaders and smiths spend a lot of time talking about the cleaning rod rubbing the muzzle and then there is the snake pull-through getting stuck. Anyhow I put some stuff together, the system is impossible to lock up, jam up.

I do believe I have two life times of material; I did consider if it was possible to replace the material should I run out. It was about that time my wife informed I have two machines in among all my junk that was designed to put the material together; with her help.

Hmmmm, my old neighbor has lots of stuff in his garage.

If the case was half way up the barrel, that is the work of the smith.
It did not go there on it's own or while the rifle was being fired.

Sounds like the OP got Chazzed.

Typically bronze, but still primarily copper.

no and that's the problem.

He claims to "do it better" "Know more" "Be Smarter"
Yet he refuse to speak in a coherent sentence let alone try to educate anyone. So as far as I'm concerned the guy is worse than useless as he is merely sucking up good oxygen and bandwidth.

Google the user name you'll find the same crap on a dozen other boards too.

I have cleaned cases with acids that had a limit on time when soaking. If I answered the door or stopped to answer the phone the cases were rendered scarp. After the soak the work began, two soaks in boiling water, the process was called 'pickling', during the soaks the cases turned black.

And then? I went to vinegar, again, vinegar has a time line, I set the maximum for time in 5% vinegar at 15 minutes. After 15 minutes the cases turned pink or orange etc.

I know, reloaders get real giggly about liquid cleaning, I use liquid like vinegar to cut down on tumbling time. On the worst of cases I can reduce tumbling time by 5 days if I clean the worst of cases in 5% vinegar for 15 minutes; the enemy of the residual effects of acid on the case can cause problems reloaders did not know they had.

Interpret: I make patches for barrel cleaning, I have used them on barrels reloaders and smiths thought were spotlessly clean, the only compliment?

A dealer that has made a living dealing in gun cleaning equipment said after a demonstration; "I be damned".

Forgive, I do not sell, I have trouble finding anyone that is matury enough to take something they have never seen seriously.
