I shoot at a public range, and I've always saved my brass, along with whatever else is laying around my bench.
Now that I'm reloading, and going through it more thoroughly, it's been kind of fun to see what turns up. I have a container for "Misc" and I get the odd .38 Super Auto, .45 GAP, and 10 mm.
But twice now, when I was inspecting 9mm, I've found a total of 8 that were bulged out from apparently being fired from a .40 cal.
My questions are:
Is that very common with range brass?
And, wouldn't you notice if you fired a 9mm from a .40 after the first round?
