At the local indoor range they sell (mostly) once fired brass at the front desk. I just picked up a batch of nearly all Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor brass, with a couple of Noslers thrown in there. Being a popular alternative to the .308 in semi-autos, I see that there are some dents on the walls (those will fire out) and some scratches on the case necks. After re-sizing, I washed them all with hot water and dish soap which made them nice and clean (I don't have a wet tumbler and figured that this would help break loose anything on the inside).
Is there anything special that you guys do with brass that hasn't been fired in your gun yet? The price is considerably cheap compared to new brass (1/3 the price) so it'll be worth it to me. Is there any way for me to tell how many firings are on the brass? There are a few case necks with some discoloration, but I doubt that is a sure sign of multiple firings. Is it worth dealing with annealing the entire brass to make sure?
