[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 1993270, member: 87887"] Put a short hook on the end of a paperclip and drag it across the inside of the case at the area of the ring. Looking for a valley in that area which would be a groove formed by the thinning brass. Have you measured the cases to the shoulder datum and compared to an unfired case? Ever have this issue with any other brass or ammo? In my experience, an incipient case head separation is indicated by a bright ring rather than a dark one. I think your good to go but you can check these things first. They are non-destructive. Worst case, you could sacrifice one and cut it open to examine it. [/QUOTE]
