Throw it out after 10 12 reloadings its time to go. You could trim it back to 44 spl lenght but you still have old brass that is going crack soon any way and to you want to keep ajusting your crimp die for the diferant sizes.

I have 44 magnum brass I've been loading with 240 gr. LSWC and H-110. The brass dates back to 1988. I don't know how much some of it has been loaded.

When it splits I toss it out. Until it splits I just keep reloading it. In a Ruger New Super Blackhawk I've had the brass split from the web to the mouth of the case. The web holds together just fine and no damage to me or the gun.

Everyone I know shoots pistol brass until it splits.
