Mouth splits are common, especially with nickel cases. A CASE split is more of a problem. Losing a case or two out of a hundred isn't uncommon.

I've gotten more split cases lately from what I call 'one-shot' ammo, but not from mainstream brands. And yeah, you handle those and that 'ting' sound that they make is prominent.

There are a few things that can CAUSE case splits, overloads, overuse or a gun with chambers that are too large and work the brass too much in resizing. Other than that, just toss out the bad ones. Reloading, you are bound to lose a few.
