Thread: Notched case - should I use it?

Quick question to be on the safe side.

I've heard of guys filing a notch in the rim of their cases to keep track of the number of firings. I thought that was a good idea, so did it with my last batch. I must have got carried away though, gone past the extraction groove and filed a slight notch out of the body on one of them.

Is this going to weaken the case to the point it is dangerous to fire? Or is there enough of an internal radius in the body to make it okay? I'm pretty short of brass in this calibre so would rather keep it if possible, but don't want to risk anything.

Brass is 7mmWSM, once-fired Federal if it makes any difference.

Cheers, Rob
