I too load 'em twice & discard. Another loading usually will result in finding 'pin holes' just above the brass. I have never noticed that happening on the second reload. BTW, it does not seem to make much dif if its a 7/8oz or a 1.25oz load, at least not that I could ever notice. All my loading is smokeless and they have that 'smell' irrespective of the particular powder being used, so it must be the paper & the wax that imparts the aroma. Always triggers good memories, that.
