Title: Re: Don’t Shoot The Zoot

Thanks, Para. I still believe in extreme cases, things like divots and crushing can increase pressures. op's case may not be considered extreme.

Bullets are salvageable. If you're hurting for brass, maybe try to rework the damaged ones but I'd toss them. Too many unknowns with weakened and damaged brass. I've shot many old rounds and I have also had many necks crack. I don't like crushed cases. I would imagine accuracy could suffer also.

I have found it advantageous to chamfer my cases for seating and I use lube on every case before resizing. Helps to prevent these problems. Old cases can be scary!
