    Can you reload these?

    I have no idea how to reload nor do I have the time to start. So I'm selling any brass I shoot or find. What that being said, can someone reload brass in this condition? Does the brass have to be perfectly round? I have a thousands rounds of .45 acp that I want to sell here soon but I don't want to cheat anyone. The round on the far right is in perfect shape, I just added for reference.

    EDIT: No all thousand is like this, just a few.

    Yep, they're shootable as long as they're not cracked or corroded.

    The sizing die will round them out, and the expanding plug will finish the job.

    Have at it.

    The only real case damage you have to worry about is when they look like this




    Slightly dented walls aren't a problem. I have crumpled some what were so bad I should have thought twice about running them through the dies, but about 99% of them straighten up nicely.

    Those are two of the worst-looking cases I've ever seen!

    What (if you'll excuse my morbid curiosity) caused the damage?

    Cheers

    I'll take a guess.

    The loads were too light, and failed to eject. They got crunched when the slide closed on them.

    That's my guess, anyway.
