Igman, FNM, S&B OK to reload ?
I picked up a set of dies and am going to handload for my Swedish Mausers. I have once fired brass from Igman, FNM, and S&B. Anyone have any problems using this brass ? TIA......Joe

I have used the FNM brass in 7.5 x 54 French to reload. It worked ok. 0 -
The igman has small flash holes, and will break the decapping pin and bend the spindle on RCBS dies. don't ask how I know. The S&B is fine, but may have britle necks, watch them for cracks. FNM all depends on who made it and when, some has small flash holes too.
I am using the igman currently, but decapped it with a Lee die and applied some case lube to the pin to keep it from sticking in the hole.0 -
Too late. Broke mine too...... 0 -
Ask for advise, then rush off to the reloading room, sounds like something I would do.
The igman brass isn't too bad, but the flash holes are a touch too small for my liking. I took a drill and reamed mine out a couple .001"0 -
Well I was just going to decap them. Had a mix of all three and did four of them before I tried an Igman. I was more worried about how the brass would hold up to repeated reloadings. That's my story and I'm sticking to it !
