I dont normaly load BP cartridges, just front stuffers and lots of smokeless cartridges.
A friend wants me to load up some BP cartridges for him, caliber 45-120-500.
He has dies and said the cases (RCBS headstamped) were last fired with BP 8-10 years ago.
The problem is the cases were never cleaned after firing, just put back in the plastic box and I've read they must be cleaned right away or the brass gets weak.
The cases dont 'look' bad at all.
I just de-primed them and they dont seem 'weak' or have any corrosion, just look tarnished and in need of a tumbling.
Can these cases be loaded safely ?
TIA
Cheers, YV
