I have just started to dip my toe in the water on reloading and working up loads for some of my rifles.
I have only loaded new brass at this point but I have noticed on my .270 cases upon resizing these stretch marks along the bottom.
From a bit of reading it looks like “Incipit case head separation” would any of you agree? I looked at some of the cases from factory ammo I have shot recently and it seems to show the same markings.
Any idea of what I am looking at here? Would love to reuse the brass but not looking to blow up my guns.
This is only from my .270 brass through a older Tikka T3. All of the .300 Win Mag brass looks good.
Hand load Hornady brass on the left. Middle is brass from Barnes Vortex 130’s and right is a federal case. Both were box ammo not reloads. This makes me think it’s a rifle issue and not a process issue with reloading.
Any feedback would be appreciated!
