I'm sticking with brass that is new or that I fired from factory ammo. Why can't people be honest when you ask them questions?

Kinda makes me wonder if this guy was wandering around ranges picking up "once" fired brass? This bag of brass is now separate from all of my real once fired brass.
They could have been fired only once....but not resized at all, hence why the necks were larger than the bullet. So they could be once fired but no other case prep was completed on them.

When ever using "free" or "once fired" brass you should always full length resize and trim and QC check every brass individually before reloading and using in your rifle.
