[QUOTE="danajm, post: 2866833, member: 89478"] Learned the importance of, "Trust, but verify" once. Had a friend give me some, "fully processed" .223 brass. Didn't case gage any of them. Loaded up 1k of 69 gr SMK. During range session (with gas gun) had one that wouldn't go into battery. Then wouldn't extract. Mortering stripped the rim off the case. So now live round stuck in the chamber. Wood rod wouldn't dislodge, stepped up to brass rod, still nothing. Started tapping brass rod, just pushed the projectile into the case a bit. Ended up pulling the barrel and taking it to a smith who drilled the primer under oil bath and extracting with a screw. Case failed case gage... then checked the remander of the 1k I'd loaded and found 5 more... case is on my wall of shame.. [/QUOTE]
