how would you damage neck?????
if action is controlled feed slip case in under extractor manually before chambering....not too hard to work out......or if all other brass is ok just ditch the S&B.

Probably moved the bolt too quickly or with too much force.

I haven't found a gun smith in auckland so I will probably send it off to someone in Hamilton. How much did your clean up and polish cost if you don't mind me asking?
