460 S&W Case Head Separation

filsonhand · Oct 30, 2016

Hey All

I'm curious who is loading 460 S&W, I'm having case head separation on Star line brass after 2 loadings using H110.

I know this round is high pressure, but I'm thinking a straight wall cartridge should get more use. I'm loading within hornady and hodgdon load data using hornady 240 and 300 xtp mag boolits, using rcbs dies.

Thanks for any input

Is it the outside or are you getting a ring around the inside as well?

I'll cut a few open tomorrow, its hard to tell inside. I don't have a dental pic to feel around

I would contact Starline and let them know. I had some 44 mag do that after two loading. I contacted star line and they replaced several bags of brass that were in that lot.
