Yes I have. I was shooting reloads in a Marlin rifle and once in my S&W pistol, both .44 magnum. The rifle case separated completely and came out with a bore brush. The handgun was a partial separation until I fumbled with it in my hand. Old brass finally gave out. Over 20 reloads. No damage, no problems. I only use full charge loads in the newer brass from now on.

I think you do have a start of case separation. How many reloads in the case?
