That rim is not in good shape either.New to me failure at the press. Came out of the sizing die with a failure all the way along the case, tried to fold under itself. Must have been pretty hard for brass to rip…hmmmm.

I've been experimenting with running brass through my kitchen oven's self-cleaning cycle. I came up with a sacrificial oven rack, because the cleaning cycle will warp a rack. It seems to leave the brass pretty workable. I also use the kitchen oven to revitalize welding rods that have drawn flux moisture. The wife is tolerant, but I should probably wire a range circuit in my shop.
