I went out for a shooting session today with a gun I recently purchased(previously used). I shot a box of new brass 9mm and got through 40 rounds of nickel reloads from freedom munitions. At the 40 round mark I looked down a saw that one of the nickel reloads had a split going all the way up the slide. I looked through the rest of my spent casings and found another nickel reloaded case was split (all the new brass ammo looked fine). Is this an issue? If so is this a gun issue or ammunition issue? Additionally could this have done any harm to my firearm?

Casings are older than mfg'er may be aware.Things like that happen with casings that have lived there life with too many reloads.damage to firearm I doubt.Keep it simple! -
Nickel casings are a tad brittle due to the plating process. They look pretty, but don't reload for long."I kill things for a living, don't make yourself one of them"Comment

That's what happens when cases have been reloaded all they can handle. I wouldn't worry about it. Freedom Munitions will replace the lot if you ask.
