Background:
I have a slick sporterized Krag (checked out by gunsmith) and a Browning rendition of the 1895 Winchester. I reload the 30-40 Krag, and duplicate the original military load with 220 grain Hornady .308 round nose bullets. I also had some 180 grain Winchester SP factory loads on hand, and shot them to reclaim the brass for the mild 220 grain loads. Cases are properly head stamped 30-40 Krag and are NOT Enfields. Brass was either once fired or new. Dies are by Hornady.
Problem:
Had 7 case necks split from both lots. No other problems noted, just split necks. 20 Loads were shot between both rifles, cases randomly split from both. Not sure what's happening. Haven't had the problem before.
