And it has always been a trait of the .25-35 AI, which the .256 is an "Uber" version of. You can chamber and fire a .25-35 Win. in the chamber, once. It typically splits at the shoulder. The brass can't stretch that far in one move. The ammo is even accurate and some lower powered .25-35 almost make it.
Typically we neck .30-30 and it does not need to move that much to form. Ditto for the .30 and 7mm GNR, others...
We once had some form loads from another custom loader. Firing them the cases were partially formed but had blackened dents. This is caused by the load being too light or powder too slow for the job. The case was not sealing at the mouth and gas leaking back made the dents. No harm at all, we just loaded them and finished blowing them out. FWIW
