Reloading Magtech brass
« on: April 03, 2008, 12:22:22 AM »
I picked up a bunch of Magtech 30 Carbine ammo and went out to shoot it yesterday.  Funny thing, the primers flew out of about 7 or 8 of the brass, out of 60 rds fired.  (Always wear the eye protection)  No problems with function or things blowing up - I just went around picking up my brass and found that the primers had fallen out.  I don't think they were "blown" out of the brass upon firing because a few of them had primers that just fell out when I picked up the brass.  OK, here's the question - Is it worth reloading this brass?  Should I guess that they use out-of-spec primers or is it more likely that the brass is what's bad?  I was hoping that I'd bought 300 rounds that I could reload but now I'm not so sure.  Any advice appreciated.  Thanks.

Try priming a few cases to see how the new primers feel seating in the primer pockets. I suspect your brass is out of spec.

I agree. Try priming some cases and if they don`t hold when firring scrap the brass.
