I notice I start getting stovepipes and feeding issues with increasing frequency as my reloads start getting worn out. The rims get chewed up over time, and that seems to be the main cause of the problem. The extractors dont always get a good hold on the rim during extraction.

Right around that same time, I also start seeing an increasing number of split cases as Im reloading them. Both those factors usually indicate its time to just dump the whole lot and and get another lot of 1000 once fired brass.

One advantage to it though, its good practice for failure drills that are random and not planned or set up. It just makes for more realistic practice.
