I cannot condone this practice, nor do I suggest that you do, but...
I keep all of my inspected range brass of different manufacturers on the low end of a powder chart with a 55 gr Hornady FMJ-BT w/c, and let the kids/wife/visitors blast away. ETA: I do not do this with unknown manuf. or with known problematic manuf. |

I do the same with mixed headstamp. I try to stay near the bottom of the middle on powder charges. Too low can be problems too.
If you got time, measure case capacity with H20 and sort into like capacities. Would be time consuming... My son has an AK chambered in 223 that dings up brass really bad, so he gets last load and stuff we are not going to pick up. |

Sometimes...we are too anal on the reloading forum...get rid of the RORG (weird neck tension) resize them , check your length, clean up the primer pocket and have fun...
I always shoot mixed brass...not an issue...esp for plinking ammo... 24grs of BL-C is a safe load in any brass for a SS109 |

The load is safe.
Personally, I only load LC brass so all of those would be in a standby box to sell later on when it hits 1k count or so. |

Stay closer to start loads than max loads and you should be okay.
Sort out all the Berdan primed stuff and throw that in a bucket for recycling. |

Beware of PMP brass. It's high quality good for loading, but it's thicker than most others. I reduce the charge 2 grains over what I would use in Win. or LC. |

If you want more info for those headstamps, start here...........
cartridgecollectors.org/headstampcodes.htm ________________________________________________ Me.........I'd either, re-cylce them or re-load and shoot them as plinkers. Aloha, Mark |

The first and last three head stamps you have listed there is some very good brass. Batch, Load and shoot them.

"nny" is cyrillic for PPU or Privi Partisan. Should be good stuff, but I haven't loaded any myself. Yet.
I agree with the general consensus: load up a batch of light rounds with it. Trigger time is trigger time, and if you make use of what you have to get more of it, that's good, right?  But DEFINITELY check to make sure it's all Boxer primed before you do anything, and recycle the Berdan stuff. |

If it inspects OK, use a starting load and blast away.
I have range scraps that I don't know how many times they were fired. Those will get used when I am doing "run and gun" training and may not be able to find them again. I save my LC brass for accuracy stuff or when I know I am going to need dead reliable ammo for training. +1 on sorting out the Berdan. Nothing pisses me off more than getting into a good rythm and popping up the decapping pin on my Lee Die because I missed one. |
