Guest stevo Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) I was at my local gun shop on sat and a very well seasoned shooter I know came in with his ruger 77 he bought a couple of weeks back. While out on the Friday doing a spot of bunny bashing. From the window of his truck. He pulled the trigger and BOOM the action blew to bits and I mean in bits. Even a shard of wood from the side of action embedded in the dash board. You would have thought it was a centre fire round buy the damage to chamber.

Hendrix's rifle Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 What ammo are you putting through it? I used some remmington 17g and its shocking with cases split, 1 slight split in the hornady vmax but it didn't affect accuracy and that's out of 100-110 rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 A few split necks, but not noticed before firing and made no difference with Federal and none noticed with the last batch of 2nd hand Remington I have just finished. Obviously very batch specific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I can't believe this is a surprise or new to anyone anymore. It isn't new, its been going on for years! Picture I took back in 2010, and it was nothing new then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dsc01241a.jpg Picture I took back in 2010, and it was nothing new then! Not pretty, when will they sort it?? On a couple of Remington they have split down to the rim :( Edit-I actually counted how many there were and out of the 43? I was given around 22-24 had split Edited May 19, 2016 by Hendrix's rifle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutiny Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 If they're only split after firing I don't see it as a problem - it's not like there's another use for the brass once the round has been fired. On the other hand, cracks in the cases before the round is fired could cause problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
