Well he claims the site where he bought it said once fired brass. However, it looks to be brass picked up off a range. It was dirty as all get out and starting to turn black in places. I am just about ready to throw in the towel because I have had two cases get stuck in the die and that just isn't any fun. Out of the eight or nine years of reloading I have had one case get stuck. I have had two in the same 100 pieces I am fooling with out of his and broke a zip spindle, chipped a ball expander and destroyed the deprimer pin and I just replaced it. It's definitely suspect brass that's for sure. It's hard as hell to size and is just not good brass as a whole.After many firings and resizing, brass gets work hardened and needs to be annealed to restore its elasticity.
