Reloading some 7mm Rem mag ammo and it's a wonder this was still together.
Time for some new brass me thinks

Good spotting @Shootm.

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

Cheers

Good thing it's only a teensy round with fuck all powder in it eh

That was close mate. @Pop Shot flashbacks haha

Good spotting, iv had a 303 one of unknown history separate fully on me, got off lightly.

How many firings and what is your sizing procedure ?

Bloody crack up......... that's a play on words team

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.

Loose primers , so you notice that when putting in new ones ? I did a few the other day they seemed to go in pretty easy

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.

Depending on the case.

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

A double belted Rem mag ! You wildcatter you!
