Pack them up and send them back to Remington. A) if it is their problem they need to know, and B) they are the experts.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
What Winger-Ed said. I had some new .30 Rem rimless brass I was neck expanding to .32 Rem. On firing the necks split. Annealed the rest of the batch, 90 new brass mind you, to solve the problem.
"You will wantonly strike a hornet's nest which extends from mountains to ocean, and legions, now quiet, will swarm out and sting us to death. It is unnecessary; it puts us in the wrong; it is fatal." Robert Toombs, Democrat of Georgia, warning of the results of the imminent attack of the Confederacy upon Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, 1861
As the OP hasn't made a comment since starting the thread I'm inclined to believe a mistake was made. And not by the ammunition manufacturer.
I had one 30/30 case split out of a run of 100, as a result I've annealed all my 30/30 brass that doesn't have primers in, some of these cases are decades old and this will be their first annealing. I'm also annealing the 150 W-W new unprimed brass I have and will be doing the same to my 308 brass just so I'm happy that's one potential failure cause nipped in the bud.
Before I did it I polished the manky cases with 0000 steel wool so I could see the discoloration forming.
Regards,
John.

Death to every foe and traitor and hurrah, my boys, for freedom !
Try another brand to isolate the answer. If it splits also, that gun has a problem.
But it looks like bad brass to me.

Now that you have posted a pic, I tend to agree with the bad brass diagnosis, especially since no obvious swelling seems apparent.
Agreed.Originally Posted by HWooldridge
When I fire form my 30-30 Ackley improved that portion of the shoulder gets blown out to 40 degrees and the neck moves up about 1/4 inch. I might have a few cases out of 100 split but if you are getting 50% splits with a minimal change of shape it is the brass.

Old or BAD brass! Neck is filthy. IF purchased lately send to Rem, otherwise, just toss the cases. Annealing probably won't fix.
Whatever!
Those Federal .303's I mentioned looked exactly like that. Bad brass.

I would mark the head of the case somehow so you know the orientation in the chamber! just because I would want to know if it always splits at the same Place, in the chamber...ie, Bad Chamber??? Especially if other brands have Not been tried!!
