Picture changes things a bit. I've had enough case head seperations over the years to be very conscious about headspace and overworked brass issues. BB is absolutely right about the start point (and I've never seen a vertical crack there either). Use the paperclip check he advises and inspect ALL of the brass fired that day. If you have a case micrometer, measure the fired brass. It'll show you if there's a problem with the headspace. If there is (and it's a bolt gun) a competent gunsmith can set the barrel back and re-chamber it for him. Good luck.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
