[QUOTE="Light Finger, post: 1608086, member: 109733"] Check your headspace, verify the bullet edge of the throat is not corroded from the heat of burning powder, and anneal your cases after three loads. The brass, for lack of a better description, is case hardened after very few firings on high pressure rounds. Hard brass results in the bullet being slightly retained instead of immediately releasing on firing. That causes a momentary pressure spike, and can split slightly hard brass. Soft cases also increase accuracy. If the bullet is lightly seated on the throat, which is what you want for accuracy, a corroded throat will also result in a case pressure drop and then increase which will split the cases if they are not soft enough.
