[QUOTE="Revolting Peasant, post: 2728745, member: 101383"] I have reloaded lots of NATO brass. Never had the issue you are describing. I have read that brass can not only work harden, but can also “age harden”. I have reloaded old brass several times and lost lots due to cracks, so there may be something to this. It may affect how the brass handles resizing as well. I would resize some more and watch it, now that you suspect a problem. If further research proves it is an issue, probably going to have to anneal if you want to save the brass. [/QUOTE]
