Been reloading for years and collecting what I think quality brass like...
.223/5.56 lake city and Norma
7mm Rem Mag Norma
300AAC Barns & Nosler
.458 Socom Starline
Pistol brass Starline
303Brit/30-06 HXP
And so on......
Is it worth the effort? I mean for the most part I have access to quality commercial o/f brass in all common calibers.
Some of the effort is in removing crimps and trimming.
And yes I have had cases come apart head case separation cracked mouths loose primer pockets and so on with commercial cases.
But now that I have chosen cases for each caliber like 303 Brit I only use HXP in my sloppy chamber jungle carbine I can get 10 reloads other brands 1 maybe 2.
Only brass bought is the .458 Socom and 7mm Rem Mag.
Guess I'm answering my own questions.
Lot of time digging through buckets of brass. And lots of good trouble free trips to the range.
