This is probably a dumb question, but is brass that has been put through an HK-style fluted chamber safe to reload?


I just dug some filthy fired .308 cases from a filing cabinet...they were put through my CETME.

Yes I have reloaded some fired an hk.  Use a full sizer die.  The marks will stay but the brass will work fine. I shot mine in an 308 m1

My understanding is they're safe to reload, but you should expect a shorter life span due to the extra working of the brass.

I googled and found a link discussing this same subject.  http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_42/293892_safe_to_reload_brass_for_from_fluted_chambers_.html

A friend has a P7 and the ejected brass is "fluted".  He said that he could not resize it and never picked it up.  I did, to try it, and it went through my press fine.  Loaded ammo runs through Glocks, LW Glock conversion bbl and Kahr fine.

I reload fired cases out of my MP5 clone and shoot them in three different pistols. No problems whatsoever.

Yep.  I reload brass from my PTR-91 with no problems.
