[?] I was going to try this new load from the book. I am using lswc 158gr bullet, so I wanted to keep it around 1,000fps. Book says 6.1grs of Win-231. So I load up 20 at 5.5grs, and 3 of the shells split long ways.[?]These was nickel plated shells. Could that have been my problem[?]. I was well below max load and my OAL was 1.590". A good crimp and I used regular primers. [:eek:)]Got me[:eek:)][?]

Well I got to confess I am not quite sure how many times they been reloaded. I was .6grs below max and I thought I would be OK. I am going to check the wall thickness aginst the brass ones for sure. Here I thought I would be down around 850fps. They all shot good.
