[QUOTE="fiftybmg, post: 1843892, member: 96316"] Which is why I won't buy once-fired brass from a reloader. There is the possibility the reloader bought new brass and reloaded once, but reloaders trying to get rid of brass will shine the multi-used brass up nicely in their stainless media tumblers and get sell them as "once fired". If I find "once-fired" cases, not cleaned, re-packed in the original factory ammo box, it gives me a good indication it's really once fired. Rifle brass left at shooting ranges is from people shooting factory ammo and leaving the brass because they don't reload. That's a good source, sometimes for otherwise hard to find brass. Here we have a lot of hunters with big calibers that use factory ammo and don't reload. They sight their rifles in at my local range, the range manager collects and sorts, and I get a cheap source of quality, same headstamp brass. [/QUOTE]
