Are these stress cracks, markings or just deep scratches?
Last night I was cleaning up my brass and I noticed these 2 cases had these marking that look like stress cracks but its only on the exterior. They are from factory ammo 145g so I doubt its from a over loaded round and they have only been fired once. I'm thinking scrap it to be on the safe side but the more brass I can keep the better. It doesn't show through the lip of the case either reason I think It could just be a scratch and the inside looks fine as well.
So what do you guys think. Cracks or just a scratch from the gravel?
