Default Two Shell Prep Questions

Hey guys,

Two question for you:

1) I was cleaning the necks of the cases like the book says, by using the copper brush with small handle. I believe that the copper brush I used was the right one since it only game me three of them and this is the closest to 30cal and looks to be 30 cal. By the end of doing this to 80 cases the brush was folded on some sides and a lot of the bristles had fallen on my shirt and on the ground. Is this normal? Do I need a new one or just keep going till it is about bare?

2) One of the cases, 300WM, has a small tear near the neck where the crimp has essentially lifted off the shell. Am I able to put this shell in the press and resize it?

Thanks

Tom
