[QUOTE="243winxb, post: 1269463, member: 97793"] Had it happen in 223 a few times. Reason it happened, i can guess. 1 The dies are over working the brass, making it brittle. Change to FL bushing die. 2. Brass stretching on firing. Learn to control sizing, using a comparator. 3. Brass became brittle when coming in contact with a chemical. Google "stress corrosion cracking" and "dezincification". This would be when cleaning the brass. Keep the cat pan away for loading area. Ammonia and vinegar are bad. 4. Just a piece of defective brass ??
