I had two of these today. The first shell splits on firing and the bolt extracts the rear 3/4, leaving the front end in the chamber. The bolt carrier then picks up the next cartridge and jams it into the remainder of the case.
As far as I could tell they were simply failures to feed and I would just clear them and move on. But on picking up brass, I found what appeared to be some oversize .223 with bullets set back. Didn't recover the base, so not sure what headstamp.
Had a few other more conventional split necks as well. Maybe no more range brass? The load may have been a teensy bit hot as well...
I have a split case extractor for my AK, so I assume I'm not the first to accomplish this feat?
