[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1843901, member: 101791"] Buying or picking up used brass at the range can be good or bad. If the brass looks good on the ground it maybe very well once fired brass. Brass that's looks old is probable old brass. If the range master isn't picking up the brass, I would be surprised. They have people that come by and purchase the brass. If it's 5.56 casing on the ground it's probable once fired brass. You can build a feeler gauge to check the inside of the case for case separation at the base. It helps to avoid case separation on brass that been reused a lot. You know it's time to retire the brass. I know with belted cases most are inter changeable by full length resizing the case and cutting necks, annealing, check neck thickness, weight. Just starting out with a different case, but changing it to something else. You have to be very careful on head stamps do to changing the configuration of the case. Note I change 300 Win Mag case to 308 Norma Mag brass, and do any of the other belted mag case, 264 W.M, 7mm, 308 NM,300 W.M. 338 WM. SSS Mike [/QUOTE]
