lray123 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Some of my once fired brass for my .223 has scratches that are deep enough to feel with my fingernail, but they are tiny. Are these dangerous? or are they too small to cause any harm? i know dents are not too bad but i dont know what to consider for reload and not, because it is quite a few of them. but they have only been fired once. Thank for any advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertTortoise Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I think it happens during extraction on semi autos / ARs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
practical_man Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Pics? it sounds like you are using a metal magazine and the corners of the feed lips are scratching brass a bit. If that’s the case, load away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJinPA Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I’ve never had any issues loading scratched brass. I think it was Sierra that made some posts about brass inspection. What’s acceptable and not. I’ll see if I can find itSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
