I've been using some Winchester 9mm once-fired cases that I've had more than twenty-five years; been reloaded many times and still works fine.
Or just sort. Anyone buying new brass for their service calibers is wasting $$ IMO. Nothing wrong with range pickups. You can't tell 2x fired vs 3-4x but you can tell 1x vs 7-8. 1x fired will look like a nearly new case. The more you shoot & load the more dings the case head takes.
