Title: Re: Don’t Shoot The Zoot

I agree. These have been deformed too much, in my opinion, to be used safely, though. I would discard these and use other undeformed brass.

Deformed brass like this can not only cause increased chamber pressures when shot but also may weaken the case at the neck where the deformation has occurred.

I have seen some of these in used brass that I have bought and I just toss them. I don't like to do anything that increases risk to me or my firearms!

But, they may shoot just fine. Be careful and watch the bullet seating like parashooter advised.
