I've been sorting some of my brass lately and I'm kind of fuzzy about being able to tell the difference between incipient case head separation rings and sizing marks. Lately I have just been pitching anything that looks questionable to me but that approach is probably more wasteful than necessary.
I have been throwing them away if:
1. I can feel a slight ridge by touch down near the case head
2. There is a shiny ring left after tumbling (because tumbling seems to remove most of the sizing marks).
3. I look at it and think "Well... It looks like it might be OK... Nope better just toss it."
Are there any improvements I can make?
