So I have a new to me Savage 10 in 308. I took it out for the first time today. My plan was to get on paper with some Tula and then fine tune with some brass cased ammo. I was on paper, looking great, and walking it in when the shot sounded duller than the ones before. The case failed to extract and I noticed the extractor parts on the table after I opened the bolt. Once I tapped the case out with a cleaning rod I found a rupture on the base. It was perfectly in line with the deepest part of the rim about a 1/3 of the way around. I was able to recover the extractor and spring but the detent rolled away.

I want to hope that it is just a case failure due to steel cased ammo. Running a headspace gauge in it will put me at ease. There are no visible cracks or distress to the bolt face, extractor, or chamber.

Does anyone in the Sarasota, Fl area have a set I could borrow?
