Which has nothing to do with either my comment, or my thoughts on what might have caused the spit.

I asked; he said no. Again, I can duplicate the splits in the case body, I said the split in my cases have the appearance of having been hit with a shaped charge from the inside.
I pulled the bullets, I dumped the powder into a container, some of the powder poured from the case like it should, some of the powder was crusted on the top, some of the powder was crusted in the bottom of the case; again, I pulled the bullets and saved the powder; there was no gassing. the head stamp on the case indicated the ammo was from 1938 to 1942,
The cases when viewed from the neck opening had the appearance of new shiny brass. I stored the cases in 30 Cal ammo cans, I inspected the cases 12+ years after storing them and they looked as good as the day I stored them; only problem, they still had Berdan primers.
I know, I could have beat the cases on the side of something to break up the clods but I had rather use a probe without a sharp end.
