Dusted of my old J&T/Double Star Grendel and shot it for the first time in a couple of years. Broke the extractor. Bolt is fine otherwise. I'm shooting Amex 123 with 28.5 grains of 8208. I was reading through some recent threads where members were saying that might be too hot. This use to be the default go to load about for a lot of guys if memory serves me correctly.
Two questions. Is there a correlation between my load and the broken extractor? It happened once before but thought that had to do with the crappy PPU brass I was reloading. Where can I source a replacement extractor? Rest of bolt appears to be fine.
Thx.
