So I have a few questions about reloading.
1) how much dent is too much dent is brass. I'm rather picky and could toss a lot of my once fired brass because of dents so I wanted to know what's too much dent.
2). What tolerance should one be using when reloading. Pretty much talking case over all length. 2.800 for example. Is 2.805 too much? Standard military inspection is +/- 0.004. Industry standard is +/- 0.005. Right now I'm being so picky that 2.800 to me means 2.8005 or 2.7995.
3) along that same Line. Let's talk about tolerance on powders. Let's say 39.5gr. Is 39.4 or 39.6 just fine?
Thanks much,
James
