That fluting also weakened the case where they're at so they're not all that good for reloading.
I was wondering about that...
Given that there's no way a reloaded case would/could be "timed" so that it lined up exactly the same way entering the chamber, the thinner "grooves" would end up over the "lands" area. I would have suspected that 60 ksi of chamber pressure would be enough to force those areas back towards the chamber walls, and being thinner, a potential weak link.

But given the first hand accounts here, guess not?
