So I'm loading for .308 in a semi-auto.
I'm about to get to my 4th reloading on a bunch of lake city brass. What I've read on this subject is somewhat contradictory. Some say 3 firings and toss while others will say keep checking for case head separation and toss at first sign.
I've also read the technique for using a bent paper clip and feeling for a "drag" on the inside of the case near the head.
Can you guys help me better understand what I'm feeling for and how I might detect it. Feel is somewhat abstract. In a perfect world I would be sitting at a bench with a veteran reloader who had one that was bad, could hand it to me and say, "here, feel that? You guys will have to be the mentors on this one.
