The top left was some of my favorites --- had a couple where the bullet got ripped in half instead of pulling out, and some with really interesting patterns, and the silver one that never got the primer pocket or rim done.Bottom left were some of the more egregious failures. I thought the one with powder was interesting. Apparently some gummy substances on the case caught like glue but a lot were just plain crushed/mangled.The picture at right is the more common failure bucket --- this is the pile that will get cut to 300 as most of the problems are case neck related. The ones I staged at center kind of show that best. No issue with the rest of the case, just in the neck. [ATTACH=full]209678[/ATTACH]This picture is the "sorted good" piles. Upper left is the first box I sorted, where it was brass, lower left is the first box nickle. Upper right is the first box "use first because they weren't quite good enough to go in the regular buckets" pile. Basically, they have larger dents where I feel safe loading/shooting them, but want to load them separate to keep a closer eye on them. Finally, lower right is the second box I sorted. It was muuuuch cleaner in general than the first box and again had a bit higher "keeper" ratio.</blockquote>
