I sometimes shoot in a grassy field. Now, the grass is quite tall so I lose a lot of brass when I use a semiauto in that place. Recently I went back to said field and found that it had been burned. Scorched. At first I was dissapointed, it was not a pleasant sight, but I quickly grew a smile when I noticed that I could easily spot brass that I had given for lost.
My question is as follows: The brass was exposed to the burning grass, and I cannot tell what temperatures were reached in that situation. Do you assume that if properly cleaned (the cases were black) they are safe for reloading? I am very anxious to know if I can use this brass because man, I found a whole bunch. Mostly .45 ACP. However I do not want to risk a case faliure or something of the like. Any advice is welcome.
Thanks
