I had my first broken shell today after 15 years of shooting.  It was 20 rounds into the day.

It was my reload of 26 gr Varget in a once fired LC brass shooting a 55 gr Winchester FMJ giving a velocity of 2824 fps .  Luckily I was able to stick a long screwdriver in the chamber and fish the front part out.  The rest of the ammo I shot today was fine.

Do i really need to invest in a broken shell extractor or will I be able to use the long screwdriver for all broken shells?  Tell me your stories of broken shells.
