What you think? A good example of incipient  case head separation?

I’m not chancing it, just wanted to share one to be tossed out.

Head stamp = WIN USA 5.56mm
unknown year, once fired.

Can't tell. One way to determine if the brass is thin and about to separate is to run a paper clip on the inside to feel for a depression.Or if you have a borescope you could try to see inside of the case for any abnormalities.
