While sizing 30 once fired cases, I noticed one had a 1/4" crack running vertically at the neck. Then has another similar crack while sizing down (20) .32 to 30 rem. Almost a 5% failure rate, and with thousands of rounds loaded in other calibers, the first cracks at the bottleneck. Is this just the nature of the .30 rem? I will be annealing my cases before the next loading.

I've had necks split on old .30 Rem. factory ammo. I didn't think much of it at the time, figuring the ammo might have been 50-75 years old. How old was your brass hovercat? I've got some unfired brass I picked up about 15 years ago that I'm about to load. I wonder if I should anneal?

I will be annealing all my .30 rem brass from now on. I do not think that Rem will make a run of new brass ever again.
