[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 2644365, member: 11132"] For factory ammo, if I still used it: As long as primer pocket is still holding and there is no sign of a internal thinning ledge above the case head after sizing. (Checked with bore scope or paper clip with a bend end.) I use it. It would only be for practice ammo though. As part of handloading, I never use a full power load the first firing of virgin brass. I treat all new brass to fireforming first load irregardless if it's already the same case as the chamber. IME you increase your case life by using a mid-load first. [/QUOTE]
