Title: Re: 30-40 Krag case necks are splitting

The real question here is - why are these cases failing on first or second firing? Possibilities include:
    Dodgy metallurgy.
    Scratched/burred drawing dies/punches
    Storage conditions (corrosion?)
    Inadequate anneal during manufacture.
    Oversize/rough chamber.

Annealing before further firing can address only some of these issues.
