Just get back from the range where I shot my new mosin for the first time. After about 15 rounds I noticed that most of the spent cases were split. Picture below is the worst one. Ammo is surplus Bulgarian silver tip from '71 in a spam can. I have not checked the headspace on the gun (probably bad idea I read LenS's warning in the milsurp section). I read on a lot f other forums that milsurp case splitting is normal, but most people specifically mentioned the neck, this seems really excessive. So should I put the gun away until I can get the headspace checked? Anyone else have a split this bad?
