[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 648293, member: 43153"] One problem could be the rifle chamber is out of spec, slightly too large allowing the brass to expand too far and then split. I don't know if they make go no go gauges for the hmr, but you could ask a smith. db[/QUOTE] I'm going to have to go +1 on this one.
