Magnum wheel man I checked a case I picked up of .223 Hornady Steel Cased Match looked in with a flash light. It is boxer primed. Good to know that it will not break a decapping pin if I miss it. Though I police my range pick up rifle brass with a magnet. It did stick to the magnet.

Ok now as far as 9mm Luger goes. If you can pick it up enough times it will eventualy split at the case mouth.

30-06 Paper clip test to make sure there is no cut ring inside the case. Check trim length. If you are shooting a semi auto it is a wise practice to shoot 5 times. Then scrap. If bolt action then load till the primer pocket gets loose, or the case mouth cracks.
