Caught this after resizing from my latest range visit...
Gun: Browning A-Bolt /Boss SS Stalker.
Cartridge: .338 Winchester Magnum
Brass: Winchester
Number of reloads: 13-15
Bullet: HNY SP 225gr
Powder: IMR 4064 59.0grs (Light)
Primer: CCI-250
Notes: Annealed neck every three firings. Very normal load; 59-64grs IMR-4064 typical. Dies were RCBS X-dies. Number of rounds fired that day, 25 of 50, and 75% show signs but no splits after firing. NO signs in that area were present prior. In fact I sectioned a piece a few months ago on my mill to check for insipid head failure, but none where present.
Possible cause; shoulder setback more than normal? I will acquire a cartridge gage to further my investigations!
Pretty cool, I think! Hopefully my chamber isn't torched! Haven't checked that yet...
BTW: The split is 3/4 away around...
