[QUOTE="Svashtar, post: 3070683, member: 112241"] Absolutely true! When my Dad died in 1982 I inherited a huge pile of .30-06 Lake City brass, some M2 ball once fired, and a bunch that had already been FL sized and reloaded several times. It sat for 40 more years as I had plenty of new milsurp M2 ball to shoot up. I just got to it during the pandemic, and the stuff was filthy and like iron. I decapped it all and swaged the crimped primer pockets where needed, then wet tumbled twice it was so dirty, but annealing brought it all back to life. Looks almost new now. For the Garand I just FL size to push the shoulder back .004” and am good to go, then prime with CCI 34’s for a little extra slam-fire insurance. [/QUOTE]
