    I have had both Hornady and CCI with split necks after firing but there does not seem to be any problem with accuracy or damage to the rifle. I have decided it is what is is and get on with it.
    Early yesterday morning I shot a possum out of a tree in the garden. It to ended up with a split neck.

    Yes I have had a few split 17 HMR possums also. They tend to split all over the place, some even leaked gas!
