    Good spotting @Shootm.

    Another reloading would have seen that ending in tears that's for sure.

    Cheers

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    It's second hand brass I got given. I've loaded it twice, only neck size. Just the Scottish in me coming out, always something else to spend money on. Bought as a gong gun but it's coming in handy for other things too.

    Second hand brass and generic wind it down till it touches the shell holder die instructions have a lot to answer for especially with rimmed/belted cases.

    Case head seperation just shouldn't happen if everything is set right, split necks or loose primers should come before.

    Why don't more people use a bent wire probe down their cases to check for this???
    Impending separation is easy to detect way ahead of visible external cracking at the web junction.

    Just had a closer look at more if the same head stamp and three more look like they had a dull ring. Put a bit of wire inside and can feel a crack forming. Have biffed the lot.

    Will buy some new that will sort it.

    yep.....if it gets to the stage where you are eyeing up the wifes nail polish as a way to stop them falling out then you have got your moneys worth out of the brass and should turn em into whistles and sell em at the flee market
