37 years old (TZZ 87 headstamp) and quite a few reloads... Lost two out of the 100 I shot today. Some reloaders keep up with the number of reloads. I generally keep them together in 100s and when cases start splitting, I dump that 100.   |

That TZZ bras is great stuff. Isn't it made by IMI? When I was in the Navy, we did a round of pistol qualifications for the ship's security force while we were out to sea one time. After the shoot the deck was just littered with 45acp brass that they were going to sweep over the side. I asked the Master Cheif Gunner's Mate if I could sweep it all up and take it home. He said it was cluttering up the deck and was fine by him. I took many large bags of it home  The first thing I noticed was that you really had to back the powder charge way down. I started with a buddies load of 700X and a 230 cast lead bullet that gave him just under 900fps. We took the loads to the range and was getting over 1300fps across the chrono. OOPS You must load a lot more than I do as I've never had a case split like that. |

Yeah, that's happened to me before......back when I was shooting a few times a week at the indoor range. It always seemed like it was the tzz brass that spilt. Kinda like nickle plated brass. I always figured is was work hardened/brittle/reloaded too many times
