I have seen a handful of these over the years. It's worth monitoring to see if it continues:

Not a usual thing for Hornady.
I have not split any hornady 10mm, but have had one or two 44mag ones do that in my super blackhawk. It was factory lever evo stuff
That is really surprising considering these were always loaded on the lower end of the spectrum. Have not experienced this myself yet.
Cor-Bon ammo gave the same thing. He thinks it's the Glock barrel.
Yep, Brittle, less malleable brass, generous chamber, fast burning powder = splits! ??? I too have seen this with Hornady Brass, it is why I stay away from using it to make 9x25Dillon cases...
Does Hornady extrude their own brass or is it contracted out?
Hornady does make brass. Whether or not they make 10mm brass I don't know. Not sure how you would find out either.

I reloaded 100 rounds of 454 Casull using Winchester brass (not Hornady) about 20 years ago. I fired about half of them back then with no problems, and then just kept the rest of the ammo in the cabinet until last week. Last week I shot the same ammo to get rid of it, and every case split. It seems like the brass went bad after 20 years.
