| How can I tell which brass is reloadable? I'm sure it is a dumb question, but I am eventually gonna start reloading and want to save all my good brass now for later use..... |

Anything that is actually brass and is boxer 0primed can be reloaded. Like the pic above shows, if there are 2 flash holes it is berdan primed and should be recycled. Also, CCI blazer is aluminium and should be tossed and wolf, Tula, etc are all steel and should be tossed.
Anything other than that is good to go, although some is better than others. |
| Why throw away steel case? I have never done it myself, but I have read several reputable reports that it can be reloaded several times before going to the recycle bin. Especially since quite a few folks are using 7.62x39 brass and steel case to make 6.5 Grendel (I am hoping to do the same) |

Especially since quite a few folks are using 7.62x39 brass and steel case to make 6.5 Grendel (I am hoping to do the same) You are correct, but personally I don't bother w/ it since x39 is so cheap online and most steel cased stuff is berdan primed, ehich also can be reloaded, but looks like waaayy too much work to do. especially when there is so much brass out there for decent prices. 
ETA: Sorry about the plane smiley, but I just noticed the "icon legend" button and I wanted to see what it did. Then I saw that cool plane smiley and had to drop it in |
