I've done the same thing - got impatient and worried and broke open a casing, only to find that everything was fine.
Making a lot of coppa these days. They are so easy and quick compared to sausage. Each time I buy a two-pack of butts from Costco for whatever kind of sausage I'm making, I cut off the coppas. Just tried stuffing them into a beef bung for the first time, and it was great. Easy to work with, and very little air gets in behind the casing. Butcher Packer has them for $4 each, and one will do 3 coppas. I'm buying more.
