can 380 auto cartrige cases be made from .223 brass? i found some SERIOUSLY damaged .223 brass, they have been crushed by vehicle tires. all of the damage is out by the neck, and they are so bad, they are just junk. but if i cut them off, it looks like they could work for 380 brass. has anyone tried this? i guess, in my puny little brain, the inside wall thickness would be the limiting factor. i am also wondering, that since it opperates at much higher pressure, if the strength of the brass (heat treat) would have any effect on bullet retention (amount of pressure to release the pistol bullet). i am always looking at ways to "save" things. it comes from being quite poor for the majority of my life. thanks,
