Thread: Ammo splitting

thats shit brass or something very wrong...I would be majorly pissed if it happened to me,we buy factory ammo to GET the brass to reload... do you get ANY funny marks on a round if you chamber it and then remove it out of chamber unfired??? eg is there a burr or something funky going on with chamber...really shit from a new rifle and factory round.

I had that exactly same crack form on my 308. Got the headspace checked it was fine.
Turned out it was old brass from the factory ammo.

30-30 not a hot round so I would guess old brass or faulty.

Thanks everyone, we will put some other ammo through it today and see what Happens. If it’s the ammo then we will call the place it came from. We didn’t buy the ammo new, it came with the gun but our mate bought it New with the gun. If we have no luck I’ll call the manufacturer.
