"To me, the case appears to have been fired in an oversize chamber, or even a .222 Rem or Rem. Mag."
That kind of case fracture is not indicative of an oversized chamber, nor does there appear to be any case deformation.
A split from an oversized chamber also wouldn't look like an aerial map of the Mississippi River.
As I said, I've seen this numerous times in the past -- it's a flaw in the brass, either bad brass, an inclusion in the brass, or locked in stress that wasn't relieved during annealing.
