but they are out of stock. The case necks split when I shoot them. I could sell you 5 rounds. The bullet measures .357 at the case mouth.

Stand them in water 2/3rds up the case. The primers are, or should be, sealed and will stand 30 seconds of water.
Modern primers could be stored under water.

That's a bummer. What are the numbers on the box, I can date that ammo? The box looks as though it is of the earlier Kynoch ammo before they went out of business in 1972. I have some for my 404 dated back to the 1965 and out of a box of five I'll usually get one case with a split the neck after firing.

Obviously Kynoch's annealing process wasn't the best. I have thought of pulling the bullets from my remaining Kynoch stock and annealing the neck and shoulder area but as they are Berdan primed, depriming live primers before annealing is not viable. Safe enough with Boxer primers done slowly and carefully but with Berdan no. There is always the chance the case neck would split anyway just with the act of pulling the bullets.

Not all is lost for me with split necks as I low temperature silver-solder the splits and use the cases for cast bullet loading. Would be more than happy to use with full power loads if I had nothing else.
