    I haven't had a .357 MAG go out of spec yet but I shoot Gallery Rifle and LBR on an indoor range with fairly low power limits.

    I'm on the 12th loading. I have a couple of thousand loaded and from the first 250 or so fired I have seen small splits in the necks of two of them.

    This will be the last time they get fired if it continues. At less than 1% failure I might be able to live with it "for one more go" but I have a 1000 new cases sitting here, it would seem a shame to leave them on the shelf.
    Good deals with: Muskett, Dreben, roger.kerry, TALL, Helidave1, Chelseablue, Leeroy7031, Mousemann, pnuk, Practical, NEWFI, HOOGS, Webb22, lazybones1416 and deanw5262 among others. Thanks Guys.

    Over 8 so far from a mix of Remington, Federal and HPS brass. No signs of any splits yet. I'm wondering how much longer it will go on for. This is in a Sako 85 and they've only ever been neck sized and (if necessary) trimmed. Same for the .308, but that's all HPS brass (I think they were using M.E.N.).
