Is this brass bad?

There is a pretty easy way to tell if a brass case is cracked. When you jiggle a handfull of good brass in your hand, it will jingle, like the sound of change in your pocket. Throw a piece of cracked brass into the mix, and you will hear a distinct change in the sound, like a dull clunking sound. If you want to hear the difference, find a piece that's definitely cracked, then jiggle a few in your hand with and without the bad one.

I wet tumble, and dry by tossing the brass briskly in a big cotton towel. Even with a hundred cases in the towel, you can hear a "clunker".
