I personally would not use that brass. Very good new brass is not all that expensive. Always keep in mind that is your very personal fingers and face are right beside the rifle you are shooting and the ENTIRE firing sequence is contained by a gasket called a CARTRIDGE CASE. It ain't worth the chance IMHO.
