For tree limbs, I use a Super Fox with #4 lead shot. I have a bag of the stuff with no use for it otherwise.

One of my basic rules in life is.

When in doubt--Always lean towards the side of caution!

So no, I wouldn't shoot a shell that looks bad & I know nothing about. My hands, fingers, eye's & guns are worth way more than taking a chance on a single shotgun shell

If you use a Super Fox and #4 lead shot for tree limbs you MUST be a red neck; as Jeff Foxworthy would say

I throw any of my own reloads that look unusual away. Have trial weighed suspect loads on a digital kitchen scale. Comparing to others same lot it shows up lack of powder well. Never checked any test double charges. Not recommending it though, better to toss suspect shells.

Just shoot it. I've shot some of my reloads that didn't fully crimp. But if you're reluctant then open it up and unload the innards and punch out the primer. I've done this many times on my reloads that come out like this
