[Brian Pfleuger]

I read a while back that finger prints on brass do not survive the firing process. I can't give you the reference but it was in a paper discussing the merits (or lack thereof) of the concept of "fingerprinting" guns. In that article there was a blurb about how fired brass does not have recoverable prints.


Not that I think it matters in the context of the OP. There's no way on Gods green earth that any print would survive the firing, recovery, packaging, unpacking, mixing, reloading, boxing, shipping....
