I never use range brass. As you said, there's absolutely no telling how many times it's been fired. And considering you can get brand new Winchester brass for under $30 for 50 pieces then the "deal" you are getting really isn't a good deal at all.

Didn't think about the over crimp. Good point pick RR.
