Here is a picture of some rifle brass I have that split. These cases have been loaded a max of 5 times with some being less.
All of the cases came from a .270 bolt action rifle.
One set was 130 gr. Nosler Partitions; 55.0 - 57.0 gr H4831SC
The other was 150 gr. Nosler Partitions; 52.5 - 56.0 gr RL22
I was doing a ladder test for both bullets. Splits happened randomly on all different powder charges.
Bad brass? Reloaded too many times?
I'm thinking to chunk all of this brass and start anew? I've also heard to shoot some factory ammo to see if that splits.
