Who made the brass?6 out of 50 cases split when seating the bullet into the case. Any idea what would cause this? Looked to be a very slight bulge on them about where the base of the bullet would be. 240grain XTP.
So just once fired brass and it's cracking when trying to load up a bullet. I haven't used any Winchester revolver brass for quite some time. You're not too far from my 44mag load of 23.0gr H110 with a Nosler 240gr JSP.Winchester brass. White box.
Once fired with lasercast lead bullets.
23.5 gr of H110.
Just enough flare to start the bullet.
Gotta say that really sucks if that's the case.Bad brass.
Iv'e had new S&B brass split on the first firing.
It happens. I had a box of 20 federal 22-250 that only 10 cases survived after the first firing/loading cycle. Oddly the remaining 10 never split even after 5 loadings. It's really rare to get a bad batch especially in straight wall stuff but it does happen. Every once in awhile I'll get a fresh .38 case out of a new box that splits. At that low pressure go figure?Now I've got to check and see if my AMP annealer has an insert for 44 mag! Never thought I'd have to anneal straight walled pistol brass!
Bad brass.

I picked up some feral 223 range brass out in the TIllamook. It was fresh, Federal brand, *every* neck was split.It happens.
