[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1390578, member: 99718"] Only thing I have ever noticed was a split neck now and then. Most of my brass was military 30-06 brass. Had to take the primer crimp off with a pocket reamer, some of them cases are well over 50 years old. I helped my father when I was 10 or 11 knock the primers out with a hand punch. I remember my father breaking the primer punch in the resizing die at least twice. He bought a punch that was made to be used by hand to pound them out. I am going to be 66 next month, they will last me the rest of my life and probably will last a long time into my sons life. They are only used for hunting rounds. But I believe some of them have had to been loaded 20 times or more. Good luck hunting and be safe. [/QUOTE]
