Federal paper hulls have a tendency to split around the rim like that even when new. I bought a bunch of once-fired Fed. paper hulls from BPI or Precision that looked like they were in pristine condition - except when inspected closely about 20% were split exactly like that. I sent them back and they replaced them with good ones.
