Isn't that one of those "Glock smile" rounds? If so, it's my first, I thought those were an urban legend...Believe it or not, I'm actually pretty particular about what I'll load, thought it may not seem that way. Dings and dents don't bother me, but anything structural in the base, web, or primer pocket, and it goes directly into the scrap bucket. I tossed a whole bunch of once fired GI 7.62x51 brass a while back, because most of them had signs of incipient case head separation from being fired in an MG with loose headspace.
When we pick up range brass, I go through it pretty carefully. My son has been processing most of it, but I give it a close final inspection. I'm trying to teach him some attention to detail. If a case takes a little too much force going into the sizer die, stop and look at it, see it there's a reason why. If it goes in way too easy, stop and pluck it out, because it's probably a .380 case that slipped by sorting.
Here's another one I found. Anything that looks questionable goes straight into the scrap bucket.
