Re: 338 Case separation
If the head tore off of the case body then push a bronze brush down the bore through the muzzle.
If that does not work then push a cleaning rod all the way through the case and screw a very large brass brush into the cleaning rod and pull it into the case and then push it out.
Don't you hate those belted rounds for handloading?

Re: 338 Case separation
As well as what Savage said if you have a brush big enough you can push it into the case and pull it out that way.
I have not had it happen with a 338.
I hope you get it out and back to the range soon.

Re: 338 Case separation
I've used snap ring pliers for removing stuck cases before with no problem.

ANY type of case can have a head separation including straight walled cases; it's all a matter of cartridge pressure, chamber size vs cartridge size and how many times you reload a given case. Also, not all "338" cases are belted.
