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.

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.

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.

 

Personally, I would reload with such a minor nick.  certainly not severe enough to cause a problem IMHO!

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.

Here is a wider angle shot of the same case.

Camera phones are notorious for distorting images.

go for it, i've reloaded tons of cases with similar nicks (and worse) with no ill effect.

Thanks for the feedbacks guys. I appreciate it

Just curious. Do they only have one nick or do they have multiple?

The cases have 1, I have 3
