Brass baked in oven at 350F?
Re: Brass baked in oven at 350F? Do you trust your "hecho en Mexico" oven to ensure your face doesn't get blown off by tens of thousands of PSI worth of superheated gas?

Powder for short barrel 243?
Re: Powder for short barrel 243? Hows this the last 18.5 inch barrel that I shot over a chrony using 100g factory loads didn't even break 2700fps. 243 is so overbore it needs every inch of barrel you can put on one and as such is the absolute worst possible cartridge choice for a carbine.

Cracked/split brass?photos up
Re: Cracked/split brass? If the cases in question headstamps aren't either marked "match", M-118 LR or FIREd by the user as surplus then you need not delve any further into this issue until you buy some different brass. Because as Jerkface alludes to 99.5% of the time a case not marked as...- R.W.Dale
