S&B Factory round fail
So this happened today at the range. Only noticed it when I ejected the spent casings.
Not a reload. Brand new S&B factory round.
No damage to the gun. Any ideas what may have caused this.

bad batch of brass, most likely.

Re: S&B Factory round fail
Looks like a 357 Mag case? Not all that uncommon, even on factory loads. Had it happen to me with Winchester 44 Mag factory loads as well. Just chuck it in the scrap brass bucket.
A case head failure would have been more noteworthy.

Re: S&B Factory round fail
I've personally seen FACTORY S&B destroy 3 guns.
Make a couple million rounds each year of loads of calibers even a 0.001% error rate is going to show up now and again.

Re: S&B Factory round fail
all fun and games until the crack goes all the way around, and you get a casing stucking in the chamber/cylinder.
imho, I'd take the packet back, and try to get a batch number.
expensive gun + license effort > packet of ammo.
