Primer marks.......

I always tell people to inspect some of their spent cases. Like the days of old, when we would inspect spark plugs in engines to tell what's going on inside the engine. Spent cases can do the same. Not just primer marks, but the walls of the case. Bulging, scratches, dents, etc. One day I should write an article about case inspection.
 
When I was reloading, I always would check for inconsistancies with the brass every time after firing. Being in this forum is really making me think about reloading again.
 
If you look online you'll find some interesting articles on "reading" your fired brass.
A wealth of info in the Lyman Reloading Manual..... well worth a little review
by those of us that have been stuffing bullets for years.... ;)

Some folks need to be reminded that a lot of the new loads are not meant to be
fired in many of the older firearms. Bad stuff can happen.

I was depriming using a Hornady multi cartridge die and broke the deprime rod. If you use this watch out for RP and Speer headstamp 357sig cases as for the flash hole is smaller. These are the cases I have had trouble with so far. 40s&w Speer and RP cases were fine.

If you have the time available and can afford the initial expense re-buying the equipment it can not only
be cost effective but relaxing. I like a little music in the background and go to it.

You and me both. I have a Bluetooth speaker connected to my Alexa Dot and stream KQMQ, 93.1 Da Pa’ina Hawaiian Reggae channel.
 
I just got finished with 4,000 pistol primers deprimed with some tunes going. Still not finished with pistol yet that's about half and then the rifle will start.
