Marlin 44 mag lever action rifle

I bought this rifle new in the 70's. I never hunted with it much or shot it much. I guesstimate less than 300 rounds have been fired through the gun. Probably much less. My son was shooting the gun some time back and noticed several of the cases split down the length of the case. I am wondering if it is the rifle or the factory loaded ammunition. Someone I was talking to asked me if it was pistol ammo. I didn't know there was a difference. I also don't know how to tell by looking at it. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'd be inclined to blame the ammo. Buy another batch and see what happens.
