What caused the stuck case in the first place ? Hot load / bad projectile / damaged case ?
I think it largely depends on who you took it to. There are a couple of very good, dedicated gunsmiths around Welly. Scott Trail (SSR) in Featherston and Mitch Maxberry in Normandale (he is a pretty strange guy and you have to put up with his rants, but does good work on Remingtons and target rifles). Some of the "smiths" attached to retail shops are shocking to put it mildly...
