Ignore for a moment the "why?" question...
If you wanted to extract a cartridge off the case mouth or shoulder rather than the rim, would it be possible to split a chamber longitudinally and pull half of the "chamber" back? Or perhaps more accurately I should say, have a bolt extension, the inner surface of which provides a "chamber wall" on the inner surface, enter the chamber proper?
Or are rifle-level chamber pressures high enough that such a contraption would effectively expand the "bolt extension" and lock it against the outer chamber wall?
