Nickle Vs. Brass .38 cases

Nickle splits more for me than regular brass, just don't ask for % or counts, I just don't bother that much. As noted, the case mouths split due to the working of it from shooting and reloading. I would also suggest large chambers would contribute to larger splits along the side. Marlins often have large chambers for example. If you shake empty brass in your hand, you will hear a different sound with a split case. If you don't examine your brass, you can sometimes hear this different sound when tumbling, using a case feeder or dumping brass in containers. A case gauge can be useful in finding split cases.
