BlueBulletBeaker Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) This little guy wouldn't gauge today. It took it minute before I noticed why. So what do you guys do when you discover a finished cartridge with a cracked case? Do you go ahead and shoot it? Or do you cut your loses and pull it? I know what I'm going to do with this guy...

TonytheTiger Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 It goes in the reject bin and gets shot eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I put them into a box of similar problem ammo - it's been building for the past 3 years now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 that big of a crack , i would not shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdude Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Pull it. You'll get a blast of hot gas in the face if you shoot it. Not worth the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef15 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Pretty solid chance I'd shoot that.Sent from my SM-G360V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Shoot it and then sell for the brass, along with other trash brass and all your fired primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techj Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Pull it - why take any chances for a single piece of brass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I see a lot of people saying shoot it. First, do you even know if it will chamber? And, if it does, and you fire it, are you sure that the bullet will leave the barrel? Quite possible that the weak brass will let the gas bypass the bullet and you are left with a squib. Also possible that you may flame cut the chamber of the gun, blow hot gasses back in your face, have the brass split in the chamber and get stuck, or any other type of failure. My guns, my hands, my eyes, and my time are way more important than a single piece of brass. Pull it, save the powder to go in another case, save the bullet to go in another case, and toss the brass.

TonytheTiger Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Looks a lot better than a lot of the ammo I used to shoot. I've got a moderate collection of WW1 and 2 guns and it wasn't uncommon for the surplus ammo to have some big cracks. If cracked 8mm Mauser or 30-06 didn't blow my face off I won't lose much sleep over cracked 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
858 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I wouldn't knowingly shoot split cases. However, today I picked up two split spent cases. You can hear them rattle in your hand with other brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe4d Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 not worth the time and trouble to get the bullet puller, would just get chucked in the trash bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) junk it, it only takes a few seconds to crank out a new good round. Who cares about a 7 cent bullet and a 3 cent primer.... Edited January 22, 2018 by 9x45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
