Clean, resize. Check for split neck and other obvious damage. Prime. Loose primer pocket is also a no-go. Otherwise than that, load 'em and shoot 'em until either they die or get lost in the grass.

.45 ACP is easy to reload, is a relatively low-pressure round (less stress on the brass) and since it is short and with a wide mouth, very easy to check for damage inside.
