I guess speed strips deteriorate over time.

Hey realgun! How you doing?
How long have you had that strip? From what I've seen of thoe, I'd expect them to last a couple/few years in my pocket before replacement.

Yep, the rubber breaks down over time. Had the exact same thing happen with the ones that I had but, after having them for 20 years I'm guessing I got my money's worth from them.

That is probably bought 3-4 years ago (new), but who could say its actual age. It certainly hasn't been carried a lot, but it has been loaded the whole time...brass cases. No sunlight exposure or any extreme environment.
It is almost always the tab that develops a crack...but I'd say after a couple of years, you would have gotten your money's worth.
If you get a 6-shot strip and grip it at the empty slot, it will be less likely to develop a crack

Have to ask--
Who's the manufacture of your speed strip?
