[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3523669, member: 5800"] I also started the tedious prep on 200 new-to-me 30/06 casings last night. I know it's likely overkill, but when I get new brass I always uniform the flash hole, do a full super polish, shine up the primer pocket, trim, chamfer, deburr etc. Most importantly, I inspect the brass. which was good in this case --- out of the first bag of 100 "once-fired" I got from a reputable local shop here I found 94 - Good to go 5 - Good, but were actually 270 Win 1 - Good, but was actually 25/06 2 - Dents in bad places = throwout 1 - Split neck = throwout The most concerning was the split neck, because that is not something I'd ever expect on once-fired, so it makes me trust the lot less. I haven't even looked at the second bag of 100, but I'm sure as heck checking all headstamps and necks first. [/QUOTE]
