    I load all my 45, 9mm, 38spl, and 357 until it cracks.

    I'm pretty sure I've even loaded and shot cracked cases before due to carelessness.

          I'll take that crack over this:

          Shot through my friends 92f, I saw the flames coming towards me. We're not sure if they were reloads.

            The primer pocket looks chamfered, and the primer looks a bit cratered. Perhaps too hot of a load there. Certainly looks like a reload.

              S&B is well known as very low grade ammo (I would never buy that crap). Buy American Eagle, PMC, Federal, Remington etc.. and your worries will be over :-)

                A cracked case is not that dangerous, but case head seperation is a differant story. If you have a case head seperation you have major problems. Maybe even firearm damage since that part is slightly unsupported in the barrel. Usually caused from overpressure. In your case it's not a big deal, just toss it in the recycle bucket.

                  This case is a reload! I remember you posted this pic before. Look at the chamfered primer pocket and the indentation from the feed ramp. HIGH PRESSURE!!!!!
