Hi all I don't normally post in this section but I've bought a new to me Anschutz 1730 .22 hornet rifle circa 1990 vintage from the date codes the bolt number also matches the serial number I tried it this weekend with factory hornady 35g v max ammo the rifle had been de coppered , cleaned and also pulled thru twice with a bore snake so there were no remains from cleaning
10 X shots total put thru
4 X of those shots have split the base of the brass around the side so nearly causing the rear of the case so completely separate these were not consequtive shots but just random in with the 10
the other 6 shots have just marked the brass as in it looks more indented on one side compared to the other side
ive stopped shooting it and it's off to the gunsmith or back to the gun dealer depending on outcome
I'm not a reloader so I don't know too much about the ins and outs of ammo but what would cause this to happen ?
