Reloading remanufactured cases

[XxWINxX94]

Relatively new to reloading and am curious if cases from remanufactured ammo can be reloaded and whether it is advisable to do so.

I have about 50 remanufactured, once-fired (by me) .44mag cases that pass initial inspection and show no signs of non-reloadability.

Curious of some more experienced reloaders' opinions.

Reload them. No issues. They did basically what your about to do to them.

"Remanufactured" are cartridges reloaded for resale. You can reload the cases again and again until they are damaged beyond use -- the necks split, the primer pocket wears out, or you notice some other sign like impending case head separation. Just inspect the cases before every reload and most of them will serve you a long time. Rifle cases may need to be trimmed to stay within specification, but can often be reloaded more than a dozen times. Handgun cases that are fired at lower pressures can seem to go indefinitely.

Get into the habit of inspecting every case before you reload it. "Remanufactured" ammo is just done (usually) by a smaller company using fired brass. I have purchased some in the past with no problems, but like "once fired" brass you can only depend on them being used, reloaded at least once before. Inspect...

99 percent of all of my brass is range brass that I either picked up at the shooting pits or bought. Some of the pistol brass has over thirty rounds threw them.
My oldest son shoots a lot of 45acp and quit counting after 52 reloads on the cases.

I would treat them like any other twice fired brass and load them.

Load 'em up, shoot 'em up, rinse and repeat!

Load them and shoot them. For the first reloading cycle or two while in your possession, inspect them a bit more carefully.

They may have been advertised as “once fired” but some cases with multiple reloading cycles may have slipped through.

I’ve not purchased much reloaded ammunition over time but what I have bought from reputable reloading companies has had good, serviceable cases.

Stay away from the “Bubba” reloading company ammunition.

I know you are asking about using used brass, but this is a good place to pick up new.

Most big companies that sell re-manufactured ammo, put the brass through a series of cleaning and testing.
