[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 839174, member: 5168"] I don't think it's so much the breaking of the extractor(yeah it does happen) as it is the wearing down of the point over time to where you start getting FTE, failure to extract, cause the point has been worn down to where it no longer properly engages the rim. Nikat is right, the extractor isn't made of super hard steel, as this would over time chip or break. But the constant slaming of the extractor against the casing will eventually cause the extractor to round out i.e. dull the sharp edge to where problems will arise with function. Most of your modern guns have a proper feed ramp to keep setback to a minimum if any. In the early days of semi's and hollowpoint ammo the feed ramps were very steep, and originally designed for ball ammo, so some of these guns, such as the Walther P38 had little or no feed ramp causing the round to hang up. If battered enough they could possibly be set back enough to cause overpressure issues. [/QUOTE]
