4n2t0 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) I've loaded and shot brass that looks similar to that, not necessarily on purpose, but if I notice during my final check and it isn't too bad, they get fired. Oops, necro and I added to the problem. My bad... Edited May 17, 2023 by 4n2t0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m700 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 When I was a kid you would right all the companies and say for example you bought a case of sodas and 1 was empty. They would usually send you a case for free. Try it maybe get a free case of ammo. In the mean time gorilla tape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigarmsp226 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Brass will split over time based on how mush it is stressed. It is not recommended that you try and braze this case for reuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not recommended that you try and braze this case for reuse. A tube of brazing rod is about $125. Assuming you have the torch already, you could probably repair a few thousand with that 1 tube. So it may not pay off for 1 of us to do it but if we all send our split cases to 1 guy the math is there for some savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhotoRecon Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Range pickup of 100 LC22 OFB that didn't make it to the first reload. Somebody with a chamber measuring .392 instead of .376 at the base. Wow...maybe that Gorilla glue on TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigarmsp226 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I wound not try to braze those rounds or try to reload them….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoRecon Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Just out of curiosity I tried to size one of them that didn't rupture with Imperial sizing die wax. All it did was push up an ever bigger bulge. So I roll sized one first then it took the resize and passed the case gauge. Obviously, once bulged that badly the case has been weakened beyond repair and not safe to reload. Who ever it is they were at the range again and left more of these.
