Problem brass?

[torchroadster]

Are there concerns reloading with this brass? I haven't come across a crimp like this before.



It is from 9mm Aguila factory ammo. I don't reload now but save all my brass for when I start. I have a 1000 empty cases like this and have kept it separate from my other brass just in case.

Case cannelure is a nonissue. Some have it some dont, it all reloads the same

The cannelure is for the seating depth of the bullet. You should be able to see it inside. I ignore them and seat to the depth I want.

Some manufacturer's use a canelure to prevent set back, others don't. And once the brass has been reloaded and fired, that canelure will iron out, if it's not already.

Other than that, it is of no concern, and doesn't change any reloadable aspect of the brass.

I see it a good bit in nickel 38 cases. I shoot 158gr lead bullets. Cases with a cannelure higher up the case(for lighter bullets) will damage the longer bullets as I seat them. This caused leading with straight lubed lead bullets. No issue with powder coated lead.

That is no big deal, may want to watch out for ammoload 9mm brass, it has a shelf in it that could become a problem, depending on what bullet you use.

On some if you set the projectile too deep the case will buckle as the projectile encounters the internal ridge.

Thanks for all the quick responses. I'm glad to hear it's of no concern.

Yeah and the cannelure wI'll work itself away with a couple firings. I have seen them almost completely dissappear on 45 acp brass.
