[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3069781, member: 10755"] Looks to be brittle brass, my 30-30 is plagued with excessive headspace, so I get 2 firings and the third sizing always ends up in head separations. I guess the tolerances in 1906 weren’t the best… Have seen this quite a bit from old hardened brass, had an entire lot of Winchester 44-40 brass crack upon firing like yours and it etched the chamber… Cheers.
