While researching some things a question popped into my mind about work hardening brass.

I would not take the time to work harden brass any other way to load it up and pull the trigger. And then there is the discipline: Measure the diameter of the case head diameter before firing and again after firing.
Remember, if you are using Federal cases look for big time case head expansions. I say that because there are so many reloaders that claim Federal case heads are soft. If the case head is soft someone should suspect a problem with the manufacturing process.
Again, I found a bucket of 30/06 cases at a Iron and Metal salvage yard. The cases were not to be resold but no one informed the I&M operation. I fired the cases before I was advised not to use them. I thought the cases were magnificent cases.
