Acceptable brass from mini-14
Howdy,
first post on this site and I'm curious about using some brass for reloading. I'm not real big in to reloading like may of you probably are. I got in to this when I found a ton of .38 bullets my grandad left. The savings paid for a set-up plus some. Then when Big-O was elected the first time, I bought .223 dyes as I was able to find bullets and brass, but no factory ammo. After collecting .223 brass from my shooting, I noticed a small ding in the side from my Ruger mini-14. I tried to find if there was a burr inside the weapon (thinking maybe it occurred when it underwent expansion) with no luck, and the mark is present regardless of magazine I use. Has anybody else used brass from a mini-14 or any other weapon with this issue? If I have to buy new brass each time I reload, the cost benefit is gone, not to mention new brass is hard to find (factory variability in rounds is not a limiter in my shooting). Any advice on what to do with these is appreciated.
