[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2765511, member: 807"] As long as the extractor hook holds the case in place for the firing pin I see no problem. If you happened to have a cartridge fire as it was being pushed forward by the firing pin it is possible you could have a case rupture with a hot load, but frankly I don't see that as very likely. The whole case would be supported by the chamber in that situation so not likely to present a problem, other than the primer blowing out. Just my opinion, if you decide to do it, its on you and not me. I was shooting some 22-250 reloads this morning and had a primer blow out, leaving an enlarged pocket. This was a Frontier case and I've had problems with them being too soft in the past. All the rest of my loads fired with no problem. These are hand assembled with weighed charges so it wasn't an error with the powder measure. I'm going to go through the rest of them and cull any of the frontier cartridges I may still have. The case retained all the pressure except for the expanded primer pocket. The bolt face/cartridge head seal held. [/QUOTE]
