G-ManBart Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 If once fired 10mm brass comes from being shot in a mp5 is it any good for reloading? I'd be curious to know if anyone has tried this as well. It's all going to be Federal cases (marked FC if I recall) as that's who has the Bu's contract for both ball and JHP, which worries me since so many people have had issues with FC .40 cases. Also, it looks pretty worked from the flutes so I haven't tried loading any of it for my 610. Fun fact is that both ball and JHP are 190gr bullets now, which is sort of an odd weight.

Sheldon Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I've never heard of anyone having any issue with reloading rounds fired out of a fluted chamber. I don't run into much of it but the few I have, loaded up without any trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Stuff I got and loaded for Pins years ago....215PF loads....hard to get the flute marks off some of the brass, but it worked fine for me, and I reloaded the brass multiple times...

gunner40sw Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 your right its all FC alot also have little dings in the middle of the caseings I guess from when they are ejected which I guess would come out whn you resize it. I probably have about 15,000 pieces of this stuff maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Bell Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 If once fired 10mm brass comes from being shot in a mp5 is it any good for reloading? No. It won't work. You can't reload it. Send it all to me for safe disposal. Damn, I wish I had to know the answer to this question. Darned near all the 10mm brass I have was purchased new. The stuff is so hard to get around here that I almost never shoot m 10mm any more. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L9X25 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 About 1% of the brass cracks the first time it is resized but that is not outrageous. Once the brass survives the first firing, it is usually good until it is lost. If you have more that you want to sell, drop me a note! Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I have picked up quite a bit of 10mmm brass that has been fired by the local FBI office at our local range. It is all FC from the 190 gr. load the G-Man talked about. It is grubby from the fluted chamber (I have an HK 91 so I know about this) but it cleans up good and has been fine to shoot. There were a few cases that had split along the flute lines but I have never had any of the others split at a later time. So once you cull out hte possible split brass you shoudl be good to go. I have a habit of using one specific lot/headstamp of brass in my revolvers that use auto brass. In this case I decided to keep the FC 10mm brass just for shooting in my 610 revolver. I took all the brass and pushed it all the way through (full length size) a Lee FCD die with the crimping sleeve and stem removed. I have shot some in my autos and haven't seen any of the problems associated with the .40 brass. Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UW Mitch Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I was excited when an FBI agent came in to shoot his Mp5 10mm because I was gonna hog the brass. But almost every single case has a gigantic dig in the side of it from the ejeector. There was a lot of it, and I left it all on the floor. ~Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bore Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I get a pretty good supply of 10mm fired thru the mp5/10 from our local Gman. I have seen a few cracks along the flute marks on the case. A ding in the case won't hurt it. Check for the occasional crack and load away.

HHjr Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 HK fired or not I hate Fed brass in 10mm and 556. I got 3K 10mm from Scharch and they split like crazy on my first (2nd) firing. Same with 556 I picked up from a Carbine class @ our club ..... terrible. HArold H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary1911A1 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I must of had over 1000 cases of 10MM out of mostly HK MP-5s' and some 1076s'. Can't really say where I got it, but I never has much problem reloading it. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
