    Try increasing larger cleaning brushes. Push past the neck from the chamber side, then pull back. The multiple wires usually will press against the case mouth and allow you to pull it gently out. Get the size right where the wires are almost straight is the trick. (IE: Not flexed, just bent rearwards)

    Harder to explain than to do, it's amazing how well it works. Won't get every one, but worth a try as you probably already have brushes.

    Since you're already doing the work, just get the case extractor. They're worth it.

    Whoa took me a second or two to see the stuck brass case. That's scary.

    1. All firearms are ALWAYS loaded.
    2. Don't point the muzzle at anything you're not willing to destroy.
    3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you're on the target and ready to shoot.
    4. Be sure of your target and backstop.

    That's case head separation.
    Was it a reload or 5.56 pressure round?
    What would cause a reload to have a case head separation like that? Too heavy a charge?

    And overgassing can make it worse, as the case is yanked out while the brass is still under pressure and malleable. Stretches the brass a bit like excessive headspace would, just not as noticible.

    You end up work hardening the brass. Its not always an excessive pressure thing.

    Even with over gassing, the brass isn't under that much pressure when it's extracted
