RA 58 is of course Remington Arms 1958 CO I don't remember maybe Ogden... Good grief GOB..I have new brass I sell for 8 bucks a box. Yep..I also have lots of old 30-06 military brass from as far back as the 40's. But when I start loadin I do as new as I can..38 isn't so bad..but if you do High intensity stuff go with as new as you can get. Even the 45 Colt I have is once fired stuff. Cowboy stuff in fact. Onea these days I might even load some of it again..

Guess I've been lucky...only corroded brass I've ever had was stuff I left in ammo carriers for hunting or on war belts....(remember when they made em outta leather). I pulled rounds and tossed em. Old brass......I've got NM rifle stuff from the late sixty's that I'm still loading...no problems.Course, ya gotta remembr I'm kinda new to this reloading stuff.

GOB. That "redish" brass sounds like stuff that has been sitting out in the sun and has oxidized. Should be a deep reddish brown in color. Stuff loads and shoots just fine. The only thing I know of that will remove the oxidation is Worcestershire sauce.
 Soak some 0000 steel wool with the W/S and twirl the brass with the four O betwen your soon to be sore fingers and you'll have sone pretty in pink brass. I did that with some 30-06 brass and it came out pink.  Shot just fine though. It's that green stuff, verdigis that can end up eating holes in brass.Mr. 16 Gauge. I hear you on some brittle brass. I once bought two boxed (100 rounds) of Federal brand target ammo to compare against my home cast target wadcutter loads. Almost 50 percent split lengthwise and accuracy sucked big time. That's with brand new factory ammo. That stuff was expensive.Paul B.
