Primer pockets on my rifle and pistol brass begin to get loose long before I get splits. This is not always the case, but generally so. I put them in a container that eventually goes to the scrap dealers, along with brass that I no longer have guns for, or military rifle cases that I don't want to fool with. This may seem extravagant to some, but I shoot at a public range and usually can find enough good brass The exception is 223 or uncommon calibers. The 223's most people are shooting these days is usually steel-cased or has military crimp, in other words, whatever they can get in bulk for cheapo! Don't know what brass is bringing these days, but, a few years ago, it was $3 a pound. It's gone down some, I know.. I once brought in 50 lbs. and got over $100., but it takes a lot of cases! I don't make a habit of scarfing up brass at the range that I can't use, others may want it, t'ain't fair. I have found that nickel cases don't last as well as brass from a splitting standpoint. Best wishes, all.
