Re: .22 split brass?

Several things come to mind.

Faulty ammo
Headspace problem
Faulty ammo
Headspace problem

:lol:

The manufacturer will probably tell you that it is not the ammo but a problem with the gun.

My question is:

Was the split shells all from the same gun or different guns?

Re: 1x30 sand/leather belts

Industrial abrasives are good belts. However, I recently tried some of the new trizact or whaterver they are called belts in the major knife supply catalogs and they are the cats meow! I haven't had time to try them out as far as durability goes, but I would suspect with proper use they should outla...

Actually should be just the opposite. The blade should be in the upper 50 to low 60 range and springs should be in the 4o's - 50's on the Rockwell C scale.

Shame it's coming down to this.....but unless the rest of the gun makers do this it won't have any teeth to it. They will just purchase from someone else.

Re: Case steel, New vs. Old. What's the difference?

Just speculation here on my part but they may be using the same steel from a different manufactorer. Think about all the steel mills that are gone in America and it might be why the difference. Lots of steel made in Japan nowdays from what I understand.

'course I may be way off base too????
