Split Case Remmington HV 22LR

cbxjeff
Shooting my Ruger single 6 last week found I had a cartrige brass stuck in the cylinder. The extractor wouldn't easily remove it so I quit for the day. Later I removed the cylinder and punched out the brass. It was split starting maybe .060" forward of the rim for the remainder of its length.

Does this just happen sometimes or should I check the cylinder bores for an oversize bore?

Any thoughts?

    Very seldom do you get a split case. Please don't laugh but is there any chance you had 22 Mag cyl. in the gun? I would shoot and look at each brass from each chamber .see if it happens again and keep track if it is always same chamber.

    ps,

    Well this is why I only am allowed as a guest on the "experts" board. Here is the story. I bought this Ruger convertible from a dealer/bud in Vegas with only the mag cylinder. I looked in GB and found a 22LR cylinder (I thought) and bought it. I now can't find any cal. markings on that cyl. just the CO commerative ingraving.

    You are exactly right. It's a 22 mag. I need to learn to check everything. Thanks for the info.

    I'll be of the experts forum for a while now!

    jeff,
    would you be interested in selling the cylinder? I have a Bisley that just came with the l.r. cylinder and I'm looking for one in the mag.
    Thx.
