Re: stolen luger (LONG)
Most PD's wouldn't take your brass at the report stage, but if you have it available, then they could "prove" the Luger is yours later if need be. And yes, the new brass is because of the marks from a used round would have from other guns or multiple marks if you used it in your own gun more than once.
To get a unmarked bullet, you can shoot it into a barrel of water or into a large area of sand or large barrel. Either way still might deform the bullet, but is one of the best ways to retrieve a round without messing up the grooves on the bullet.
