| Shot Garand ammo from CMP. The shells after they were shot I noticed the opening (where the bullet fit in the shell) isnt round. They are not all like that, I would say half are like that. Can I reload them? Is something wrong with my garand causing this? Is it the old ammo? |

Garands are notoriously harsh on brass. When you reload, you'll want to completely full length resize your brass, and retire brass after fewer loadings than you would in a bolt action rifle. Otherwise you may risk the occurence of split cases and/or head separation. Your mileage may vary. Enjoy your rifle!

If its dented to much It will crush when you size it. I have used a dummy round in the past to pop the dent outward. A pointed, steel center-punch, pushed into the partially closed neck of the cartridge by hand will do the trick, and avoid damaging the dummy round. |
