I should have also included the following -
The case separated while using a Rock River AR15 M4 (14.5" barrel). I have no way of saying what AR15 the case was used in before the the case separation happened. It could have been any of the following - BM - Car 16" EA - M4 16" (BM upper) BM - Varminter 24" This is the first time I have had it happen to me. A broken shell extractor was not needed to remove it. |

I was thinking maybe some duct-tape or JB weld the the case would be good to go.

Sounds like you got good use out of the brass. Time to dispose that lot of brass. |

Time to check some of its brothers and sisters for a bright ring around the case at about the same height. If you are using a small base sizing die (as is highly recommended for reloading rounds for a semi-auto), this is not uncommon since the case base is sized a fraction more than if using standard sizing die. This allows just a RCH more expansion on firing.
The extra working hardens the brass and... WYSIWYG.
