        Rem UMC is actually some of the better brass I've used to reload. I'd have to say Rem UMC, Federal, and Blazer brass are the best brands of brass. WWB sucks, Fiocchi and S&B are too tight in the primer pockets.

            You may want to shoot it first but yeah, pretty much any brass is reloadable - unless it's berdan primed which is pretty uncommon unless you're shooting surplus.

              Lol,... I don't think he was trying to reload loaded ammunition

              Or at least I hope not...

                Sorry to hear that the Fiocchi has issues with reloading. Is there anything I should be aware or something? Reason is I have been buying and shooting it for awhile. I have saved most of it along with some PMC and American Eagle. Anyone that can enlighten me I would appreciate it as I was intending to reload someday. They shoot good

                  Fiocchi is some of my favorite brass. Remington as well. My dillon runs that stuff great.

                      They are good too...... I haven't run into any problems with them yet.

                        Fiocchi brass is just fine, it's just that the primer pockets are smaller than the brands I listed. The primers fits in really tight, and it's really hard to use a hand primer on it. With a bench mounted press, if I'm priming S&B or Fiocchi ammo, it always feels like I'm crushing the primer with the ram, even though it's being inserted correctly.

                          Why not? I've done it. I took a box of Remington 30-06 hunting ammo, pulled the ammo apart, noted the charge weight from each cartridge, averaged it, and re-loaded the ammo. I was bored, and just wanted to make "factory" ammo a little more consistent & accurate.

                          That said, I doubt I'll ever do it again.

                            Guess I'll have to run my Fiocchi and &B through a Primer pocket swager before trying to load them

                              No, I meant trying to put powder, primer, and a new bullet in a fully completed cartridge already, lol.
