Been reloading for years . . .
. . . many, many years. I'm still reloading and shooting the very same .45 ACP brass I started with. They have been "processed" literally dozens of times, and never -- NEVER -- trimmed. They still function just fine thru my '43 Rem-Rand as well as my Series 70 MKIV, and even a convertible Blackhawk. Seriously. I've never experienced a problem with them.
This is also true of all my straight-wall rimmed revolver brass in several chamberings . . . never trimmed, no problems, although none were expected.
I have, over the years, read all the articles warning of serious failure rates on untrimmed auto-pistol brass, and always awaited the onset of such to consider trimming. Never happened. Not sure what to make of this, but most of my fellow shooters report the same experiences.
Strange situation, this.
