Maybe I should ask how often do you inspect your rounds after you have put them away for a while? OK I was in the ammo locker and came across rounds I did quite or should I say years back that I just did not get to fire yet. Well took them to the range to fire and saw a line in the brass. I ran my finger nail across it and learned it was a crack saw another one 
. When these were loaded on a single stage and I dd a final inspection of each finished round before putting in the box. OK there in a 100 round MTM box two different 50ct brass from factory rounds. Times load 3 counting factory load. This was 38spl Rem. nickle brass. The ones with the cracks had a cannelure on the out side 50 of these the other 50 plain. So I put my new magnifying glass to use and inspected the box of 100 as stated the plain were fine. The ones with the cannelure were the problem ones to a tune of 20 rounds. I broke these down. So what I'm saying here is if come across some rounds that ya did quite some time ago and want to shoot at the range you might want to give them a once over to see that all is well. Would like to know what happened as they were fine when I boxed them up.
As you can see the crack here and I had 20 of these and this was the third time the brass was loaded. The picture was taken through the new magnifying glass. This is going to be one very helpful tool for my reloading.

My daughter came from Missouri, my son and grand son, my wife and I had a nice dinner of grilled "porter house" pork chops, corn on the cobb, my son, G'son and I share 10/5. G'son is 4 minutes early though @ 10/4.
Pooh I hope you find to right house .
