I dismantled a few hundred .223 bad reloads a friend bought off of craigs list. (Idiot)

Case necks cracked when chambering a round. You could physically grab the bullet with thumb and finger and crack the case neck and remove the bullet on about half of them. The ones that didn't crack were dismantled with a RCBS collet puller. One in ten bullets show slight lines from the collet.

The question is "Would you reuse the bullets?"
