    What kind of bullets are they? Lead, jacketed, plated? It makes a big difference.

      It depends on your expectations, but for blasting ammo, load away.

      If you are loading plated (soft, relatively thin plated like Berry's) you might chuck the ones that have deep crimp lines, but otherwise, again load away.

      To give you an idea what the kind of damage you have does to accuracy, load some exact same loads with new bullets and compare. You will then know how much they affect your accuracy.

          I would reload them, just don't expect perfect accuracy, you might be pleasantly surprised.

            I would just load them too. If you get a flyer in that grouping, just blame the scratched bullet
