I've been reloading for a couple years now, but just started reloading 30-06. After sizing and case preparation work is complete, I drop the case into a Wilson case length headspace gauge. I regularly find extractor burrs on the base of the case that prevent the base from dropping into the gauge. However, once in a while I find cases where the base is not concentric with the rest of the case, and the base will not drop into the gauge. I've separated these out, but am unsure if this is a big issue. Can they be used, or should they be scrapped? I can't seem to find any place this has been addressed. I have found this with "once fired" commercial and military brass.
