357 Maximum Case Problems

A customer of mine recently wrote that, he has a 10" Thompson Center Contender in 357 maximum. He has handloaded (with new RP brass) and is experiencing case splitting that runs vertically up the side of the new cases. He believes it is a Case problem, but I believe it may be a chamber problem. Is there something I could tell him to check for possible chamber problem or should he send the barrel to TC for a check up?

  Sounds as if the Chamber is over size, try a +p 357 load, see if the same thing happens.
