Even with my CZ "short chambers" I haven't had to do much anything but the standard "plunk" test. If it passes that, the load is good. Bulged brass, A-Merc brass, Perfecta, that weird stepped brass all goes in the scrap bin. CBC, PPU, Aguila, all the thick walled stuff will still work just fine, especially with cast bullets.
Full metal jacket and JHP rounds all get the Lee Factory Crimp Die, which does wonders for me. Plated and lead loads do not. I examione every single peice of brass by hand prior to even sizing. Anything looks "off" - it gets turned into doorknobs. I have enough brass that it doesn't bother me.
Machinegun brass, I wonder if that what a buddy gave me - it looks like it was fired in a "stepped" chamber, fireformed ever so slightly larger about 1/4 inches below the case mouth.
