    Is Federal m855 brass reloadable?

    So I was in the market to buy some bulk ammo and while in reno I wound up buying a can of 420 federal m855 (possibly x) instead of 50 little boxes of tula hp. Looking back on it I was kinda kicking myself in the butt for the purchase cause I could of gotten 1000 rounds of wolf or tula for a bit more then $40 shipped but shipping is always a drag and I figured federal would be bit easier for my new ar. Last night I had my ah ha moment realizing it's brass cased and that it should be re-loadable.

    So my question is, is this brass re-loadable? I did a quick search and only found issues with larger calibers and the primmer hole widening and shorter case life then other brands, but if I can get at least one reload out of each case I'd be happy. Anyone with experience on this subject, any issues or other problems?

    And yes... I am completely new to re-loading but I do have guys willing to teach me.

    (ps next time around im going for the wolf/tula just for the sake of it)

    Yes it is. You will have to remove the primer crimp.
