Ok guys/gals.
I purchased several boxes of Winchester 17hmr XTP 20 grain.
Almost all , after firing had split cases and had to be pushed out of the chamber with a cleaning rod, why ? I even had some that the round was not seated in the case and gun powder was spilling out of them, why ?

I also had some CCI A17 and CCI 17 hmr and did a comparing between CCI and Winchester.
CCI--- not 1 split case.
Anyone help me out with what caused the split cases and other bad rounds.

better now?

I bought some 17gr and 20 gr at Walmart in Canada, they actually shoot right up there with the Hornady, which is my reference, at about -.7-1" at 100 y. both out of a Sako Quad and a 1517 Anni. No extraction issues or split cases with a total of three boxes.
And they come at 14$ CAN which is the cheapest by far, hornady/CCI/Federal run at 17-21$ for a box of 50
