Ok this is my first post so bear with me...
I am a novice reloaded and have reloaded 38spl for my police edition revolver and my 38spl 1911 was cutters. So I have some basic knowledge.
To cut to the quick, my uncle dropped off my grandfathers 30-6 reloading stuff so i could use it for my Savage 110. Anyhow he mentioned that some of the 4-5k brass may be "old military" brass. He said several of the old brass had split down the side when he fired them and jammed in his barrel and screwed up his firing pin(?). Not sure on the details but just want to start by weeding out the bad brass I souldnt use.
How do I do this?
Is there certain markings on this "old military brass" that I should look for and toss them in the trash?
Or were his problems based on brass that was damaged and shouldn't have been used to begin with?
Just don't want problems...
Thanks!!!!
