One for the experienced 30 Carbine reloaders here: do you do any check of your used brass before reloading other than the visual check for obvious cracks or other problems?
As I have started to trim my 30 Carbine brass before reloading, I have ample opportunity to visually pick out any cases with splits or other major problems and toss them into the recycling can.
But I am wondering if that is safe and sufficient (right now it seems so to me). I am assuming that 30 Carbine brass will show you when it's finished, like pistol brass, and that no special physical evaluations are needed, for example as with checking the inside of 30-06 cases for signs of case head separation.
A related question is how long one can expect to use 30 Carbine brass (both carbines in question are not rough on the brass in ejection), assuming a standard load of 110g FMJs and 15g of H110.
