MartyZ 691 Posted August 20, 2019 As the title states. Got about 30 of these out of a batch of 400 twice fired 223 brass. All mine, reloaded once after firing factory, all PMC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njJoniGuy 2,129 Posted August 20, 2019 F*ck NO! That's NOT the proper shape of .223 Rem brass! The extra 'ring' extending above the case head not being the same diameter as the bottom of the 'cone' is troubling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MartyZ 691 Posted August 20, 2019 What extra ring are you talking about? I was refering to the nick in the case head. But if you see something I don't, please explain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyB 4,289 Posted August 20, 2019 Personally, I would reload with such a minor nick. certainly not severe enough to cause a problem IMHO! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njJoniGuy 2,129 Posted August 20, 2019 Maybe it's the shadows in the photo playing tricks on my eyes, but I see an extra ring above the case head that SHOULD be the same diameter as the cone shape that expands to form the full diameter of the brass, especially in the top photo. It looks to me like the 'ring' is larger in diameter than the bottom of the 'cone' As far as the nick in the case wall goes, I wouldn't let THAT stop me from reloading the brass.

Pew Pew Plates 358 Posted August 20, 2019 go for it, i've reloaded tons of cases with similar nicks (and worse) with no ill effect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greenday 323 Posted August 20, 2019 Just curious. Do they only have one nick or do they have multiple? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MartyZ 691 Posted August 20, 2019 The cases have 1, I have 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
