[QUOTE="fishwater, post: 860736, member: 38378"] Yeah, this brass is definitely not getting used again. :rolleyes: It just came out of the chamber like this and is immediately going in the garbage. I have never annealed brass before so this is a real eye opener. I recently discovered the "plier test." I pinched the necks on a few of these with a pair of pliers and they were mega brittle. They cracked almost immediately. A few even developed cracks just going through the bullet puller! All this brass looked fine before being loaded, it just freaked me out that it all started failing at once and I started to question my reloading job. I realize now it was definitely old/brittle brass. Thanks for the reply. [/QUOTE]
