    Default Brass breaking on ammo

    Sooner State Pawn
    My uncle passed away and in his will he left me everything that was in his garage... in his garage there may have been over 10,000 rounds of ammo (most of it being a 30-06 ammo) to this day I'm still pulling the ammo out of his garage.

    Problem is I'm finding some that are cracked and some that look fine but after putting it into the rifle they are cracking... what should i do with these?

    i thinking pull them apart, dump the powder and buy new Brass but then i have to buy a reloader... question is if some of them pass the old eye test then what happens if one does crack while in the gun? can this be deadly?

    Is the crack up by the hole where the bullet seats.

    Maybe its just been reloaded too many times. Could be time to retire that brass. If these are factory loads, then I dont really know.

    Does the gun actually have 30-06 stamped into the barrel? AND a swastika on it?
