up piece of brass. I have spent most of the day reloading 5 or 6 calibers and threw away probably a dozen pieces of brass that has bulges at the base or the mouth of the case was dinged in from a jam in a 45 ACP. Building 1911s from scratch we go thru a lot of dinged up pieces of brass before we get the gun functioning perfectly. All our brass is saved and I tumble them while I am bluing (last night). Today i went thru several hundred rounds of brass and dumped maybe 1 1/2 dozen. Just not worth the time and effort trying to baby a piece of brass into one more shooting.

you guys that hate the thought of loading 200 - Gary Reeder, 2020-04-11, 11:20
