OMG! Now I have to tarnish up all those clean cases! NOT! Wonder if the old guys washed their brass or just reused therm until they cracked. I'd almost guess the latter.

I do know that the cases don't fit snug in the chambers, at least none of my modern cartridge guns do, .22 to .44Mag. Got wiggle room in them all. BP, I would assume, does too, and room for the gases to blow all over them.
