Thread: Split brass

Get a cheap set of oring picks. Think I got mine from workshopinnovation.co.nz.
After my first separation I started checking all my brass for that particular rifle.
Sav 99 in 243 with a tight chamber could see a ring forming on the outside.
Dumped all that old brass as well and started with fresh stuff.

2-3 reloads does not seem like a lot. Lots of possible causes, try a different brand of brass next time. And only size just enough to allow the bolt to close.
I will sometimes take one case and starting with just neck sizing it and checking to see if it will chamber, if not then start gradually bumping the neck until it Chambers.

Nb my other sav 99 and the bolt actions I load for have never had a problem.
