Factory ammo

[buffalobo]

When and if buying factory ammo does anybody consider brand/style/factory/components for the purpose of reloading those cases later?

I do, I always buy brass so I can save for reloading.

I like to keep some Blazer aluminum on hand for indoor range time. No stress over losing any of my brass that way.

As long as it's brass cased , boxer primed, not at all. Thew few mfg or reman's i avoid are

1- AMERC, the most blatantly dangerous mfg of reloaded ammo on the planet. They ended up not only refunding my money 12 years ago, but sending me another 300 rds of loaded ammo. Which was disassembled and sold for scrap. You folks who have the misfortune of seeing their ammo know where i come from. Those who don't a web search will fill you in.

2- HSM- they seem to be hit or miss. The few hundred rds of 357, 9 & 223 was MISS.

3 - BuffaloBore has a good rep and seems like their ammo is GTG. Yet the 38 loads i've seen, They crimp them with an air hammer ? ? ?

For a class, plinking and the like, I use Tula, if I know I can't pick up my brass...

Why would you not be able to pick up your brass?

Trying to figure out whose brass is who's when there are 5 shooters on the line, is difficult. Guy told me 1 day, hey that's my brass. You sure, yes i'm shooting 9mm
