Thank you all for taking the time to reply to my posts. So, what would be your recommendation going forward? I have about 68 rounds still left. Should I keep the empty cases providing they are not split and use them for reloading or just throw them out? I noticed some of you recommended to use 38-55 and 9.3x72R to reform cases for future reloading.

BillK,
If they were mine, I would pull all the bullets, reserve the bullets and powder, recording the charge weight of at least 5 of them for info, pop the primers and either anneal or have someone else all of them. Sixty-eight good cases should last the rest of your life if you take care of them. Good luck.

If it were me, I would shoot 3 and see how the velocity pans out. Then maybe pull 5; properly treat them; shoot them and see if the crack still rears its ugly head. I would do that before goin' thru the labourious task of pulling the whole lot.

Hochachtungsvoll,
