Quoted: The case necks are fine before I fire any of the ammo. I checked all the rounds before firing them. After being fired the case necks are cracked/split. I do not think I have a head space issue I think it is the ammo but I am not an expert on Milsurp ammo.
Is firing this ammo a danger? I will try polishing all the remaining ammo I have left and on my next range visit will test it out. Thanks guys for your assistance.

just get a headspace guage under 15$ and test it,. i shoot,, andloveturkish. my M48 stuck afew times,,it wa slike new when i got it.. what i did was just polish the bolt and keep shooting, non of my turks hate turk,,or stick up. best bet have it checked IMHO.. i was in a 8mm buying spree so i have both go and no go gauges.. a no go and filed guage is what you should try,, dont worry about the go gauge.

Thanks for the response. Could you or someone enlighten me on the whole process of checking headspace on Mauser rifles. Also where do I find one?

midway or brownells,,, to check you strip thebolt,, re insert bolt,, put the gauge inthe chmaber and close bolt... depending on the guage,, the bolt shouldnt close,,if it swallows( or closes) on the gauge its outta spec,,, there are ways to repair it unless you have total lug set back ect.
