Shoot It or Pull It?

[3guns]

pull it

For best results, use metal foil tape.


But seriously, I would knowingly shoot a round with split brass, and certainly not with such a long split. The bullet may be reusable (if the coating hasn’t been compromised by the split brass, and if you’re really cheap, the primer can be salvaged (though I don’t think any press manufacturer recommends decapping brass with live primers).

Pull it, the 20 cents in the round isn't worth even a miss or frustration on your part.

Shoot it.

 

Sorry, you're not allowed to do that unless you live in Chicago.

The crack looks like it only goes to the base of the bullet. It'd go in my practice bin and if it chambered, I'd shoot it. If it went farther down, I'd put in the "pull pile".

Pull it, fire the primer/empty case, then trash it.

I would take this advice. If a case has a crack in it that I can see, gets trashed. I am not taking any risk what so ever. Only takes one to ruin your day.

If you have to ask....  Having said that, yes, I would shoot it and I have shot many like it.  9 major no less.

 

In a case like this, the chamber is what is actually carrying the load and the brass is just sealed up against it.  If there's a break in the seal it's not critical.  You don't get anything in your face and the like until failures at the rear of cases occur which is something that isn't contained by the chamber.

[M1A4ME]

Remember neck tension?  Holds the bullet in place?  If you don't have enough neck tension the bullet can be shoved deeper into the case - raising chamber pressures.

 

I would not shoot that.  When it feeds from the magazine to the chamber it'll take a smack on the nose of the bullet and there's no way to tell how deeply into the case it'll move back.  As to dropping it in the chamber (if it even will, due to the cracked brass sticking up) is your pistol "okay" with jamming the extractor claw into/over the case rim?  That normally doesn't happen.  The extractor claw slips over the rim as the cartridge moves upwards from the magazine to the chamber.

Pull it. Throw brass in scrap bucket. Carry on.

I just threw away 250 rounds that I should PULL, but I ain't never going to

PULL them, so off they went to bullet heaven    

 

Throw it away - don't shoot it, and don't pull it - just toss it.
