I believe originally, vendors of "once fired" brass were collecting and selling once fired military cases where the were really just fired once; range pickups. Some resold cases from police ranged and also fired just once. But today "once fired" is just a term meaning "used" and the brass can come from just about anywhere someone shoots. I have purchased used handgun brass and inspect closely when it is delivered and have very few culls. The rifle brass I buy used is also closely inspected and then process and inspected after each step. Again, very few bad cases. I inspect all my brass before reloading and toss those with split necks, out of tolerance primer pockets and look for head separation on my rife brass.....
