[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2287260, member: 115658"] Cutting a case open to look inside is good advice. Clamp a case in a vise & hack saw a diagonal cut across the suspect area & look inside. Kind of tough to feel a tiny depressed ring with a bent paper clip. Shiny area most likely caused by die forming but good to check..[ATTACH alt="IMG_1497.JPG"]298216[/ATTACH] I lacked the sensitivity to pick up on this with a paper clip probe and lacking a portable X-RAY or bore scope I cut thru 3 cases, observed imminent separation, then tossed the other 46 into the scrap bin. I carry a .38 bronze pistol brush in my range bag or back pack & if this happens resulting in the front of a case (head-less) being stuck in the chamber (which it has) the brush if pushed thru a stuck headless chambered case can pulled out with the stuck case. Be Prepared! [/QUOTE]
