Not very cost effective

I bought 500 rounds of 'mixed cleaned and polished' 45 ACP brass. About 202 rounds were small primer which I had to set aside. The brass was clean and bright and really looked nice; however when I de-primed the 299 rounds of large primed brass, the primer pockets were black which I assume is the result of wet tumbling with the primers in place. So, in summary: I got about 300 useful cases that I have to de-prime, size, and really clean the primer pocket. So from about 12 cents a case it ends up at about 21 cents a case.
In fairness it is advertised as mixed manufacturers and small and large primers mixed.
I'll take the small primed brass to my gun club and someone can use them but it's disappointing to have 40% of the cases that I can't use.

Very nice cleaned and polished but I found 38 out of 500 that had small primer pockets. I thought 38 was a little much. Good price.

Nice Brass, but.....

The brass is mixed and generally of very good quality and clean. My only complaint is that there are several Federal cases with small primer holes.
