Another "New guy" question. Brass

[Adam Helmer]

Karl Peterson,

Welcome to the Forum; I see this is just your 6th post.

I suggest you separate your brass by by manufacturer and keep them separate; plastic baggies are made for this task. Check each lot of brass for length and trim as needed. Be sure to champfer and deburr your cases before reloading. Do not get rid of that brass, especially if you fired it in the arms you will reload for in the near term.

I like nickel brass. In the .38/.357 it never grew green crud while in leather belt loops on my duty belt like brass cases always did. I like nickel .30-06 cases because I reform them for my .35 Whelen and never get my .35 Whelen and .30-06 ammo mixed up.

Again, welcome to this site. Be well.

Adam
