I bought a box of Winchester Silvertips, shot them, saved the brass, and I'd like to reload them if I can.
But...it appears there is a crimp-like ring around the case about mid-way between the head and the mouth. It looks like a real sharp crease almost. All the rounds came that way.
Are these OK to reload? Seems that crease may make that area of the case weak, no?
Note -- I will be using these for Ruger-only 45LC loads (light, starting loads, that is).
Am I OK to reload these cases?
Thanks in advance folks. And -- thanks for your patience with a confused/slightly-scared beginner.
