I had a partial case head separation using a 1.8oz buffer
More pics. First one is a lineup of a Hornady Black factory case that had strange bulges - 2 lumps and a long vertical ridge. Like something hard was inside with the powder?. Then it goes left to right: Hornady, Lapua, Starline. Failed case in the back for reference. You can see the inside crack starting in Lapua and Starline, but there is also the beginnings of this in the Hornady case, too.

Here's a closeup of the sectioned Starline case:

And here is the exterior showing the rings. Left to right: Hornady, Lapua, Starline:

Odin got back to me on the barrel so I'm going to arrange to send it in for inspection.
