When I get mystery brass from someone I actually prefer it before cleaning and with spent primers intact. It is easier to see how hot the previous load was or how bad the gun mangled it before it's been processed. Especially .40 cal and rifle brass. I like to get 5.56 with the crimp still there and no deep ejector/extractor marks so I can be pretty sure it's really once fired.I don't have a .270 anymore nor a .40, but happy to run them through a cleaning and hand them over to someone that would use them. I picked up one of the mojo magnet rods for shotgun hulls and the little nut weasel that grabs amazing well. My favorite place to shoot in the Tillamook forest, without fail, as I am just about cleaned up the sheriff's deputy pulls in to see how things are going and comments on how it looked a few hours earlier. I swear they have cameras up.
