 brass does not seem to do well after its been heated up abit by a fire  30'06 discoulerd by fire (the only time you have to much ammo is when your ammo storage place is on fire) result reloaded case blow the primer out and tore the rim to c@*&  ,,,obtw the fps was 2739 the other test rounds where fine .

Uh oh...did you have a structural fire? Not too much damage, I hope.
"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."  Abraham Lincoln

um yea that was what 1 year 2 years ago ???  the only place that burned was my reloading room only loss was very outdated books that where going to be trownaway anyways ,,and around 4 brass case's that got to hot to be safley reloaded,,,,,reloading room got new paint and another bench outta what happened ,,,,I am just now able to get around to reloading abunch of the brass that was around that fire .

The only time you have to much ammo is when the room that you keep your ammo in is on fire ,,,,,long story short my Marine son was home and got ALL the Loaded AMMO out before the fire could get to it  my son inlaw got the fire out with a garden hose .

I am hoping that brass you plan to reload did not get hot enough to be annealed in the body or base area?

Yup, if the base has been heated excessively, don't use it. 
They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about, having been employed as Rangers against the Indians and Canadians and this country being much covered with wood, and hilly, is very advantageous for their method of fighting. . . . ".  Lord Percy

Sounds like New Englanders to me.

A few did but they are easy to spot as they  area  defrant shade darker,,the one that I did shoot blew out the primer and the rim was pulled away :bomb: leaving me with an m-1 smoking from the receiver  ???  the round did chrony well tho I think it was 2705 fps,,owell  looks like my scrap brass can gets a little fuller .
