I inspected a few thousand .45 cases this week. Had a handful of cracked necks and then these corroded cases.
I've always just loaded them like this for pistol but not for rifle. Would you load these?

| It almost seems like tumbling with stainless pins would abrade the brass some over time. It would think it wouldn't matter with rifle brass as it has a more limited life as far as number or loadings. My .45 cases have been loaded well over a dozen times and will probably go a couple dozen more times. I wonder if the stainless pins would cause issues if used enough times on a batch of brass. |

Curious....why PINS and not BALLS???? My apologies to OP for jacking the thread......... |
