WESHOOT2 makes a good point about the flashole. I've seen more than my share of "big" name makers pistol brass with no flasholes, tho it has been awhile.

Normally with pistol brass intented for plinking, target... I just visually inspect to confirm that the flashole exists and look for any abnormalities (dented case mouths..etc) and don't resize. For competition and serious usages I always size the brass... can't be to careful sometimes.

Rifle brass, I always FL size new brass.
