[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2681536, member: 15054"] a little more info on the fail. The pockets on this case got a little loose but no seepage was ever present and the primers still took some pressure to remove. After I shot #43 I noticed what looked like a line forming around the case head. I did the paperclip test and no line was felt. Shot #44 was loaded and fired. I seen a definite line around the case head. Loaded shot #45 went to chamber it and it was not wanting to go in the last 1/2".. I forced it and then removed it. Chambered it again and same deal stiff with the case head separation line present.. I fired it anyway. It extracted in 1 piece and no seepage at the primer or the case head crack. The seating pressure of the bullet remained the same through all the rounds.. Never annealed and the case growth is what I feel was the demise of the case. This case was never cleaned , just wiped off with 0000 steel wool lightly taken to the neck OD to remove carbon to keep my die from getting crud in it. Who wants to do a Winchester or other brand case????? only take about 4 hours or so :) [/QUOTE]
