In response to the OP original Q
Don't worry about the condition of the cases as long as tape will cover the splits. You will never feel the difference. The gun will never know the difference. The target will never know the difference.
Some people take great pride in loading some particular case 20 times or more. Personally I could GAF. Reloadable 12ga cases are free for the picking up. When I was loading I used them once and tossed them with no regrets. No reason other than why bother. Now that reloading has become an economy of questionable worth I no longer bother at all and just blast away with the cheapest carts that come to hand - mostly Feds but some Wins as well. NBD in any event.
Seems like lotsa folks get twisted panties over inconsequential minutia. Worry about something important
