[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1701916, member: 10755"] Simple answer is no. Inclement weather is most likely not the reason, BUT travelling with them probably is. It's more likely the CHANGING conditions, cold welding of the bullets to the brass and temperature changes causing the issue. Many years ago, my 25-06 Winchester brass started separating at the neck/shoulder junction during firing, or when re-sizing them. There was a lot of green corrosion inside those necks, never saw the bullets as they had been fired, but suspect they had corrosion on them too. They had been taken hunting dozens of times and stored in a box on the tray of my truck for several years. Although the box had a seal on the lid, temps inside would have been from 32 F to 120 F, this, I think, is the issue. Cheers. P.S. I bought 100 NEW 22-250 Remington cases 2 years ago, fires them in comp last year and 80% of them had multiple splits on the necks with the FIRST firing. Go figure, I have no idea why they split.
