Itchy Trigger Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 What are the dangers of shooting a cartridge with a crimp in it: squibs, split cartridges, worse? I have noticed that a few of the brass that I received from Georgia Arms have crimps. Not sure if any passed by my quality control before I saw the first one.

Michigan Slim Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I'd shoot it if they chamber. The dent will be gone. I've done it many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I find one in my brass from time to time and do not get to alarmed as long as they fit in chamber gage. Sometimes I choose to consider them for pistol over rifle for no particular reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe E.S. Corpus SASS #87667 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Not a crimp but a dent. If it chambered I would shoot it in a revolver not in a rifle lest it hang up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Well that's a pretty good ding right in the middle of the brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed your question according to the pictured defect. In answer: No, no, no. If these were loaded to SAAMI specs... I'd be leery of using them... but for cowboy loads... not worries.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 If it freely chambers, shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
