Any body else have a drawer or box like this in their reloading stuff.
These are all unsaveable cases ruined in the bullet seating stage and some that were primed, left uncharged and seated with a bullet.

I don't have any in a drawer but that doesn't mean I haven't had any at all .... I normally pull the bullet (RCBS Bullet Puller https://www.amazon.com/RCBS-9440-Bullet ... collet+set ), remove the powder, sometimes remove the primer, and crush the case

When I first started reloading, I had to use a bullet puller on a handful of rounds because of a weak crimp that caused the bullets to recede into the case from recoil while they were in the magazine tube of my Big Boy. I was able to save the cases, bullets, primers, and powder. And I learned about the importance of a good crimp, too.

I'll get to that at some point. I've emptied the drawer a few times.

yep, that picture looks all toooo familiar ..

Had my share over the years - but they get broken down immediately.
