I also check the rims for extractor marks to get an idea as to how many times
a case has been reloaded but sometimes I pick up cases at the range that have no mark on them. This must be from a pistol with a carefully fitted extractor or perhaps a non 1911 pistol. |

Since the gentleman handed you 4 separate bags of 250 cases each perhaps he made a simple honest mistake and misread what was written on the bag (did you look at the writing on the bag as you purchased them?). Assuming that is the case and you had 30 small primer cases out of the remaining 750 cases that is not too bad and the easy solution is to swage out the primer pockets to large primer with a device such as the Dillon Super Swage 600. With that tool you should be able to "fix" those cases in a couple of minutes.
I sincerely DO NOT believe that you were "ripped off" for that implies intent and I just don't see it from your description of events.

I've never tried it, but I seriously question swaging small primer pockets into large primer pockets.
All that metals gotta go somewhere.

I presume one could use a reaming type tool to make such a change, but that is a lot of work for very little gain IMO. Toss the small primer pocket brass and move on. |

Man, I should have held onto my .44 mag brass instead of giving it to my buddy for nothing.
Sometimes I hate being nice. |

All brass is good. I have range pick ups totaling about 250 for .40 S&W., 100 or so .380 ACP, 60-80 .30 Carbine, a double handful of .45 Colt and I don't own any guns that fire them, but I'm keeping them all....
Of course all the others (.38, .357, .44 Sp. and Mag., .45 ACP, 9mm, .223/5.56, 30-30, and 30-06) get recycled!
