Title: Remington-Peters brass question
Post by Brian Wise on Aug 14th, 2017 at 1:08am
Hello,

I just posted up a "hello" and photo of my rifle in the "U.S. Military Krags" area.  Today, I picked up 53 rounds of cleaned, de-primed, once-fired brass from a seller at a gun show.  The head stamp on the brass says "R-P 30-40 Krag" so I deduced that this is Remington-Peters brass.  I also picked up a full box of Peters "High Velocity" ammo (that I will display only), so when I got home, I googled to learn about the Peters brand.  One of the hits that popped up was a forum post where it was stated that Remington-Peters ammo is "fire once."  Subsequent reloading will result in the neck splitting.  Is this bogus information, or...?  I only paid $8 for the brass so it's no skin off my teeth if I can't reload and shoot this brass (more than once, anyway).  I'd be interested to hear what experiences others may have had with this ammo.

Thanks in advance,
Brian
