That's what I do just look at the neck real good and the rest of the case.Usually I was shooting "target" loads that were fairly mild and I tended to get 4-5 reloadings on a case before the case mouth started to crack and had to be discarded.
I use a lighted magnifier glass.

Is that necessary?

Maybe not but that is just me.

That said I do use range pick up if I can get a bunch of good brass. The more precision you are expecting the more I would tend to go with new higher end brass.
That is exactly the answer I was looking for.

Reloading is one of those things that demands your full attention for sure. Check -and double check - every step of the way. Make it a habit you can't break. One important step is check the powder levels in every case before you seat to spot no charge or double charge. Even better, use a powder that mostly fills the case using a safe charge to make it difficult to double charge.
I had a wake up call a while back. I reload on a single stage press in stages and my shop has a concrete floor an a stool that rolls. I was metering and filling my cases and after finishing and checking everything over I rolled back to get up and heard this loud POW. After I realized I wasn't dead I discovered I had rolled over a stray primer on the floor and set it off somehow. Got my attention REAL quick.
