I knew of a copper whom did the reloading for his PD for practicing. He was taking the loaded 556 rounds and dripping crazy glue on th eprimers to keep them in place on the worn out brass. I told him he was a nutjob and asking to get one of his buddies hurt , let alone wreck a rifle. The second I feel a primer go 'swoosh' with no resistance I set it aside and later retrieve primer and it is SCRAPPED , No exceptions.

IF I pick up federal brass of any caliber at the range, it goes straight to the recycle pail when I'm sorting it for loading. Scrap brass prices what they are, it's worth the effort to pick it up.

If I get a "soft" seating primer I hold the case on an angle, rap the edge sharply two or three times on the bench and if the primer shows any sign of backing out I remove it, then crush and scrap the brass. If the primer does not move I mark the case with a sharpie, complete the load and use that case one more time. It is crushed and scrapped after firing.

When the primer pockets get loose the brass is trashed. I crush it so somebody else won't use it. There are no exceptions to this rule for me.

I wonder, if anybody, recognized the thread drift?

Right on the thread drift... In the scrap bucket they are. Thanks to those who gave their honest opinions and weren't snarky...
