I don't have an answer for you - at least not based on any experience...and I understand you're just asking an academic question ...vs intending to do it ...

but I suspect the side walls of the case will crack...depending on what caliber and how hot you tried to load them ....

but its kind of a moot point ...because the difficulty in resizing them is really the issue / and why none of us has tried it intentionally ( just like the difficulty in getting the AMERC headstamped cases in .45 acp to resize properly / and they're supposedly brass ...of some type ) but I reject them all also ...
