Brass and nickel cases are reloadable. Aluminum and steel are not.

So, if it looks like brass and a magnet won't pick it up, it's reloadable. If it's silver colored and shiny, it's probably nickel, and reloadable. If it's silver colored and has a dull finish, then it's steel or aluminum, and not reloadable.

BTW, I am not the reloader in the family. I am just the brass sorter. And I need help. Anyone in north Texas who wants to sort endless buckets, PM me. Really. Will pay in cash or brass.
So that's why ya'll don't allow wolf ammo at the range...I knew something was up, and it smelled like a re-loader! "rlol"

Now, I'll kindly take my cut of all the brass I left laying on the ground beside I-35 :fire
