    Anyone ever see a case crack like this?

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had this happen. I have just never seen it before. Seems like a weird spot to me. L1 case with bobs nose cone. This will probably not allow me to post it up for sale here...

    I've seen that, saw the whole bottom break off at that point. I'm guessing a badly out of balance prop could cause that after long time and a defect or a hit....

    I'm spinning a pretty big wheel (15×35 cleaver). But it was labbed by bblades. I can't see it being out of balance.

    I see some corrosion/pitting on the trailing edge of the bullet. Any defect like that is a good place for a crack to start.
