neovader Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 I've got some recently acquired LC 7.62 brass and I noticed some strange marks on the shoulders. It looks as though it were pinched and wanted to know if they were safe to load
survivalshop Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 Size one & see if it straightens out . Reload & they will fire form to your chamber after a trigger pull , but I would size it first & look it over real good .
neovader Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Posted July 10, 2012 The shoulder isnt bent, looks more like it was pinched with a pair of pliers. Similar to a burr, looks like I could file it down smooth.
survivalshop Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 Could have been shot out of a belt fed weapon & they will show some funny marks .
neovader Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Posted July 12, 2012 I resized some of the pieces that have these marks and it smooth out the marks and you can still feel a slight raise, but I guess the question remains would they be okay to load?
jeffreyC Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 They should be okay to fire.After firing them they will be fireformed to your chamber, you should anneal them at that point to make them last longer.
