[QUOTE="Warrenoliver, post: 1953860, member: 113557"] Any ideas on what caused this split? This occurred during load workup and the shot did not sound or feel different from any of the others. Did not have heavy bolt lift or ejector marks. Rifle: tikka t3 hunter 6.5x55 Hornady brass - 4th firing Always full length sized 48 gr. Vihta vuori n165 139 gr. Lapua scenar bullet Federal 210M match primers Muzzle velocity 2621 for this load. Photo is after I cleaned it up to check for other cracks. I also used a borescope to check inside the case for signs of case head separation and did not see any. [/QUOTE]
