My buddy Gurton has had trouble with those Winchester 10 gauge cases coming apart if they had much age on them. He got a great deal on a bunch of Winchester XX 10 gauge stuff several years ago but upon shooting some of the shells he found the brass and plastic were coming apart in weird ways. Now he's got all these good shells but is afraid to use them. These were all factory loads so maybe it ain't you Charlie, it could just be the cases. Were the ones you were using the big shiny XX type or the later muted color steel shot type cases?
