Hi, guys. I went to the range today and came back with more brass than I started with. I was mainly just scraping up what's on the floor as I swept up my own, but I did confirm that the place doesn't mind if you dive in the brass bin. I'll do that next time. Anyway, I picked up a lot of Remington 40 cal brass, most of it looks once fired (I can only find one extractor mark) but other ones are questionable. The ones I'm worried about don't have any marks for certain (I've started marking mine with a sharpie in the headstamp, one letter/number for each time I load, to ease sorting before tumble).
What are the indications of too many reloadings?
I've had a couple of cases that I've fired after the first reloading and the brass looked rippled in spots, like if you crinkled a piece of paper a little and then smoothed it out. These I tossed in my scrap box for safety-sake.
What are the odds of getting a previously reloaded case and having it fail?
Some guys reload once and then leave 'em, I'm sure. I don't think that would be too much of a concern short of a max load.
Any responses on your experiences helpful.
(BTW, I'm sure there's a few Glock cases in there, but I've reloaded my Sigma cases without an issue)
