I don't know exactly where to put this post but here goes..
last weekend a friend and I were shooting he was shooting his new england in 204 ruger. one of his cases seperated and it looked like someone had just taken a tubing cutter and cut the case in two.
It was the third time the case had been loaded and was well under the max load according to the manual. and there were no signs of high pressures (on the Primer)
It was hornady brass. I have brass that has been loaded 5-6 times in my 17-222 and have never experienced head seperatoin only neck splits. do you think it might have just been a weak case because no other rounds seperated?
