Should I shoot this?

[mark501w]

I got a little heavy on the crimping stage & wrinkled the case, the one on the rt. is the second case.

[ExtremeX]

I don’t know if you can or should shoot it.

Personally I wouldn’t… just pull the bullet and save the powder.

Better safe than sorry.

[Ninja45]

I wouldn't. I agree with ExtremeX's suggestion.

[SNCaliber]

def. would not shoot

[OCD41911]

^^^^^ This.

[JagerDog]

Does it chamber? What would you propose would happen?

[mark501w]

Ya, it chambers.

[russt]

Don't shoot it. Not worth the risk. All you lose is a case and a primer.

Considering it takes about a minute to pull the bullet, back out the depriming pin / stem in the resizer, resize, recharge, and reseat (and that's if you take your time), I would just do that.

New wildcat .30 Cal. Bent Wrinkle.

30-30 has a very thin neck.
if cases are not cut to same length and you get a long one it will then over crimp and do this.

I have shot them like this if they chamber no problems, just chamber check it or put aside for range day, do not want to be on a hunt and have faulty ammo

[CSACANNONEER]

It depends on the charge. If it was a powder puff load, I would shoot it through a gun built to take the extra pressure just to try to save the brass. But, I'm a cheap SOB!

[mark501w]

I got in a hurry & didn't ease into the bullet seating & crimping combo.
