New to reloading and haven't seen this mentioned in any of my reloading books. Anyway, after creating a few dummy rounds and cycling them through my firearm I noticed on my newest magazine, the mag lips scratch the brass a little deep. I also pick up range brass and they always have minor scuff marks. I don't worry much about the light scratches on frees range brass, but the mag scratches are long straight deep lines.
Fwiw, I'm reloading 45 ACP with Remington UMC brass, but I would like to hear your opinion and experiences with any modern cases (pistol and rifle). Seems to me a deep scratch may lead to premature case fractures, but what do I know.
