Greetings,
I just bought some once-fired brass for 500S&W and I am a little bit puzzled.
1 - There is some brass marked Hornady 500 S&W but with no letter "R" on it. Didn't Hornady stop to manufacture the brass that uses pistol primers a while ago?
2 - I have some brass marked 500 S&W *-*-* and some other 500 S&W *-* R. The one marked *-*-*, is it Starline with pistol primers?
3 - Finally, I am not through all, but I found a brass that is shiny, but the surface has like some little bumps on it. A little bit like pitting but with soft edges. I ran that brass, just because I am curious, in the sizer die and those bumps are half gone. What will cause brass to have that kind of imperfection? Is it bad for the integrity of the brass?
Thank you
