How did it shoot with the split-cased ammo? If it shoots okay, just go with it and quit worrying about it. I've shot scads of HMR in my Marlin, some cases split, some didn't, but it shot them all just fine. Since I'm not going to reload them, I don't care about it. I just use it happily.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
