This thread has been very helpful. I've only bought once-fired brass one-time, and it was .223 from a very reliable source. Never thought to look at the primer, but never had an issue either. I've bought new brass maybe 5-6 times, and these days only use that, or, cases from factory ammo I've shot myself.

^Actually, Hornady has jumped around a bit on that. I buy factory Hornady for one of my rifles, and the primers used to be all dull/brass colored. More recently, all silver. All of it branded "SuperPerformance". They may be all silver now/going forward. Don't know..?
