I am going through a bunch of fired 223 brass. It was out my dad's stash. I am unsure of the history of the brass and the ammo. Dad usually kept good records but this stuff is a mystery. He passed last September so I can't ask him.

Anyways I burned up around 500 rounds. All went bang no issues. But I did not pay much attention when I was shooting. Was just burning ammo through a couple new AR builds.

I also shot some old stock Remington factory. I am sorting the brass. Remington all looks great. The mystery ammo is assorted LC. I am finding about ten percent with seriously split necks. And about half have majorly flat primers.

Always been a hoarder and try to get as much use out of brass as possible. But thinking this stuff is better off in the scrap bucket to avoid future headaches. But damn tossing 500 rounds of 223 brass right now is tough.

What you think roll the dice or deprime and take it to the scrap yard?
