Factory Ammo - 357 Mag - Speer

Im going to call SW in the morning and see if they can send a replacement. The metal appears very "brittle" pieces fall apart on my finger.

Its also possible that the compensator doesn't sit centered as there is a little play when loosening the bolt. I'm going to have the gunsmith I ordered it from take a look at it tomorrow
I called Speer on some ammo I got. They said not to use it on all compensated or ported barrels.
If you used speer, that most likely was the culprit. I spoke to a tech in Wisconsin?
I forget how I got their customer service. Maybe through their website?
Idk if you want to tell Smith and Wesson, you used that ammo....
