That's definitely a light load of Universal under a 125 grain bullet. I will also agree that this particular split seems excessive, and will also very much agree that nickel plated revolver brass simply DOES split, and at a rate much, much, much higher than non-nickel traditional brass cases.

I am no expert. But in your position, I would keep an eye on your brass, especially your nickel plated brass and see if the problem repeats itself.

At this point, with the sheer number of split (nickel!) pieces of revolver brass I've experienced, I simply wouldn't worry all too much about it.
