A friend just gave me a mixed lot of once fired 45 ACP brass containing a few hundred A-MERC casings.

I have heard folks saying they simply toss this stuff away.

I have a lot of mixed brass that I re-use over and over for light plinking loads. I have noticed in the past that there were a few dozen of these A-MERC cases in there with the others.

As a result, I have (unwittingly) reloaded these cases several times. Oddly, I have not experienced any problems.

I will admit, because of some of the comments I have heard, I have been tossing stragglers as I notice them, just in case. (pun intended).

Anyone have any specific horror stories they can relate or reasons I should toss this stuff outright?
