[QUOTE="victor152, post: 1758712, member: 5987"] I picked up 30-50 rounds of brass at a private range on Monday. When I sat down to deprime it on Tuesday I noticed consistent deformaties from case to case, the pinch at the neck and the small crease halfway down the main body of the case. I contacted the range master and he is in the process of notifying the owner of the rifle of what we found so that it can be corrected. I thought this might be a good training and info moment for those that are new to shooting, building your own ar platform, or don't reload (I presume reloaders inspect their cases for deformities). The rifle in question shoots and cycles the brass but from the pictures I'd guess it is not a happy camper. Something is obviously wrong and the owner has not yet detected there is a problem. I would hope that if they did know they would be getting it corrected and not out continuing to shoot. This brings me to the training moment. Just because your rifle goes bang and cycles the brass, it may not be doing it as neatly and cleanly as you think it is. Take a few minutes during your range activities, pick up some of your spent brass, and closely inspect it. It may be trying to tell you something.
