    Unless you like breaking decapping pins. 90% of the Perfecta brass I just go had way offset primer holes. One of them has the hole almost at the edge of the pocket :sad20:

    They were all range pickups so no money out of my pocket. The guy in the next lane was doing mag dumps and he gave me his brass. About 1/3 were Perfecta.

    If they are that poor with quality in brass prep I don't think I would want the ammo either.

    You got a picture of what that looks like?

    I have no experience reloading, but would like to start so if I can see examples of what to look/not look for that would be awesome!

    Well, considering how cheap Wal-Mart was just selling the stuff you'll probably see people shooting it a lot in the near future

    Might want to try anyway, you might get lucky when you tell them you're going to tell all your shooting companions not to but their trashy stuff.;)

    That's why I manual decap using a Harvey Decapping tool. Takes more time, but it will decap anything other than Berdan primers. However that is troubling to see something that badly manufactured. I wonder if this is part of the ROLL BACK ammo being sold today?
