Shiny brass doesn't shoot better but......

I'd check inside the cases for incipient head separation ... sometimes when the old guys leave quality headstamped brass around it's for a good reason - like they've already been loaded to a practical limit of cycles.

I never leave bad brass for some poor fellow top pick up. I usually scrap it and sell it, but if I am too lazy to take it home, the case mouth gets crushed before it is tossed in the trash.

It's the right thing to do. AC

Unfortunately, not everyone cares about the next person.

Unfortunately, not everyone cares about the next person.

Which is exactly why all gift horses should be looked in the mouth ... quite literally in the case of cases.

I agree with the last few posts about looking over range brass carefully. Which is all the more reason to make em shine.

I love it when the older guys get lazy and leave some good stuff behind.

And I love it when the young guys scatter new brass and walk away.

Yep.. Those young guys usally leave .223 and 40 sw or 9mm... Very popular where Im at... not to interested in those.. I have thousands of the small stuff... Not to many Young guys leaving 30-06 match brass or 308 Match brass thats for sure.
