Collapsed shoulder

Here the other day was trying out new leads in my 300 Wby. The first one accidentally collapsed the shoulder I tried to chamber it but it would not. What I would like to know if there was a way to pull the shoulder up enough to chamber this to fire the round and save the brass? Or do I take it into sheep country and accidentally loose it because every time I have lost a round out hunting the next year has "Always" been successful.

If the brass will go into your sizing die, you might be able to salvage it. My suspicion is, it's a lost cause. I have a few pieces of crushed/bent/bad brass from over 25 years of handloading.

So pull the bullet and dump the powder and go from there.
