I was given a good quanity of 556 ammo. After firing some I had issues with the case getting stuck in the chamber and not ejecting the case and having a very difficult time getting the bolt to the rear to remove case.
Would not enough powder case this to stick so tight in the chamber?
So thinking these were more fire formed to another chamber size I decided to disassemble the components and reuse what I could. Most of the bullets removed with little or no marks so I figured for plinking rounds these would be ok to reuse.
Some of the case necks had splits so those were discarded. With eye and hearing protection I also removed the primers.
Would it be safe or smart to reuse those primers or just dispose?
