The rifle is a Marlin 783 from the 1980's, but I bought it new just a few years ago. Had been sitting in a box on the shelf for over a decade.

I've never shot .22 WRF ammo in the rifle, only WMR. I clean it very often, at least once in every 100 rounds fired. The rifle is very accurate for a .22 mag and I've had no other issues with the rifle other than these two split cases.

With CCI and Remington ammo I've never had this issues. I've noticed that with this winchester ammo, the bolt is just slightly harder to close than normal, but this rifle has always had a tight action.
