Do let us know. I had one or two boxes of Imperial 30-06 from back in the 80s and as I recall the brass wasn’t of very good quality. I pitched it after 1 or 2 reloads. Heck, the ammunition could have been from the 70s. I bought it at a gun show.
I had issues with some 35+ year old loads. Don't know if that brass hardens plus a cold weld or what.

Only other issue was some fine Hornady factory loads 25 years ago. Split on initial firing.
