Brass question
On some of my 300 weatherby mag brass I have small flat spots on the case. Can I still reload these. They have only been shot once.

i am going to buy more brass for reloading 7mm08 but it is more expensive and harder to find than .308 brass, is there any negative effects to just buying 308 brass and resizing it to 7mm08?? 0 -
discoloration? dents? what? Inside? outside? neck? shoulder? body? head?
All these questions aside, my gut reaction is, yes, you can probably still fire it; but without knowing what caused it or what they look like I won't say for sure. Could be as simple as tarnish, could be a chamber burr, dirt in chamber, gritty low powered load and powder residue, etc. etc.0 -
The flat spots are on the body of the case (the widest part of the case). They got there when I was sizeing them. Did I use too much lube? 0 -

Lube dents normaly show up on the shoulders, but it's certainly possible to get them on the side of the case also.0 -
If that's all it is, yes, you can shoot them again. The little dent will blow out, no problem. Next time use less lube and see what you get; you might also clean your sizing die thoroughly. 0 -
What if the angled part on the neck is dented. is that safe to reload? Sorry for the rookie questions, but I am a rookie. 0 -
perfectly safe to shoot. The dents will be ironed out well before the chamber pressure of a wthby (60,000PSI +/-) and will come out looking perfect. Clean your dies inside with break cleaner, then use only enough lube to get the case in/out easily. 0 -
thanks for all of the help!! 0 -
Hi,
It would be interesting to find out if while cleaning your sizing die you dislodge a foreign object that might have inadvertently been caught in the sizer die from a dirty case. [?][:)]0
