Not for this one, but for the rest of the same batch, I would seriously consider to anneal them all.
 
thanks guys will scrap it and keep a close eye on the rest cant say I have paid too much attention as they have only had 6 firings and everyone claims a lot more than that for the 6.5x47l but will certainly keep an eye out. And yes I have just annealed all the rest and did an inspection and cant find any more cracked so will be watching from now on.
 
You can still turn it into jewelry. Discover the fastest-growing hobby on this forum! As for the crack, that won't spoil a shiny bauble. Heck, the Liberty Bell has one.

Just curious. How many firings on it?

Hi mate I commented a few posts above but only 6 firings!!! It is a tight neck chamber .286 brass is turned down to give loaded round diameter of .281 which is 5 thou clearance or 2.5 thou each side depending on how you want to look at it. Will keep an eye on the rest of them now I checked the rest last night couldn't find any other cracks....
