The model 1903 Springfield, the model 1917 Enfield and the original model 70 Winchester have a coned breech. A cartridge head separation with one of these rifles can be dramatic.

i was very close to a gentleman on a firing range who had a cartridge head separation with his beautiful pre 1964 model 70 rifle. The stock was shattered, the magazine floor plate and guts were blown out and the scope was trashed.
