Yesterday I was firing my Kimber K6s 4 inch revolver when I couldn't eject bullets from the cylinder. When I finally got the cylinder open I noticed one of the .38 Special cases had split .101 inch from the case mouth down the side of the case for .795 inches. I had fired 30 rounds of .38 and .357 prior to the failure. Any idea what would cause such a failure?
Case brand was Western
Reloaded by me once
Primer does not show excessive pressure
Load was 6.3 grains of Unique under a 110 grain Hornady XTP bullet
Primer was CCI small pistol primer
COL 1.460
Inspection of the pistol did not reveal any issues
