Have not lost one yet, but there is always a first time for everything. Plus having spare parts is always nice.

Funny, now that I think about it, I think only my short actions have done this (308 and 223). I do not remember my long action in 6.5x55 has had this issue that I can remember.
my first one to ever do it, was a 6.5cm. i thought it had something to do with the angle of the shoulder or something. Then my 300PRC did it. That is most definitely a long action round.
