Picture in Post #19 doesn't have any X-ring shots left in it. It can be tossed with a clear conscious. A little 1/4" crack at the case mouth is no big deal, keep reloading until the bullet falls to the bottom of the case. Pistol magazines and brass cases are disposable commodities in the shooting world.
I have also found gun barrels to be consumables if you shoot a lot of jacketed ammo. You will never wear out a barrel shooting lead bullets.
