[QUOTE="EastTNHunter, post: 3514033, member: 8364"] New brass often comes with dents in it. Small dents are not a problem. As far as how many times can you fire, resize, and reload?... It depends. Full length resizing works the brass more than neck sizing, but some rifles require neck sizing. If you neck size then your brass will last longer and not have to be trimmed as often. Inspect your brass after every firing looking for split necks/shoulders and case head separation/cracking. You can detect case head separation before it occurs using a paper clip formed into an "L" to feel the inside of the case toward the base. You may feel a void, valley, crack, or rough spot on the inside of the casing indicating that it is near the end of its life cycle. Just test one or two from each batch as random samples. This is why it is a good practice to keep up with brass in batches separated by number of firings, although it is not 100% necessary. [/QUOTE]
