njl Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 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).

jason237m Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Pull it, the 20 cents in the round isn't worth even a miss or frustration on your part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kipdynamite Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) 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". Edited February 4, 2018 by kipdynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prebancolt Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Pull it, fire the primer/empty case, then trash it. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuey Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Pull it, fire the primer/empty case, then trash it. JI 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theWacoKid Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 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 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 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.
