Does anyone get case splits during the seating process, or do you usually get them before this stage? I just loaded a batch of 25 .45acp and noticed that two cases had splits in them that weren't there before seating. Usually I get the splits while resizing.
 
They usually split when fired, or during case expanding / flairing.

If the brass is very old, or has been reloaded several times, it work-hardens and is prone to split.
