When I shoot .38 special shells in my ruger blackhawk .357 magnum sometimes the shell casings split open. Any danger to shooter? Gun? Is it due to cheap shells? Thanks, Dave

If the splits are factory brass around the bullet there could be something wrong.
If they are reloads, old brass, overloaded charges or shells made from something other than brass that could be the problem.
As long as the split is by the bullet there should be no problem, anywhere toward the case head and stop shooting them.
How do the .357's shoot ?
