Went to the range and my wife fired her Beretta Tomcat. It bit her hand a bit (she has 5 year old sized hands) but bit me too because I wanted to reload the brass. The front of every round was partially crushed. I left it all there since I figured resizing it by that much would weaken the brass too much. Should I have picked it up still? Or did I do the right thing leaving it there?
 
.32 damaged brass

Retrieve them and cut the heads off to shine, cleat coat and place a brass bolt through the primer hole and decorate your belt or your hat or shooting coat with them to make a statement as to what your favorite caliber is.

I've only got one belt, no hat, and no shooting coat. And I think .45 is my favorite caliber, so no, no, no! :D

What's the melting point of brass?! I could make a brass fake handgun of guns I want but can't get yet!
 
My P32 did that to brass as well. I pushed the charge (red dot under a rem 71gr FMJ) from 2.0gr to 2.1gr and it stopped.
