    Is this 6.8 brass still reloadable?

    Hi guys,

    I've never done any reloading, I was wondering if you guys could tell me if this brass is reloadable. It is once-fired Remingtion 6.8 brass. Instead of being circular, the necks have been bent in one side. It seems to happen only with my Remington brass, I haven't noticed it on my SSA, Hornady or Barret casings. Almost 50 out of 150 casings ended up bent like this. Is it an easy fix for a reloader? I'm thinking of selling my brass and I don't want to include these if they are no good. Thanks.

    Sizing die should iron those out... I would reload them or atleast resize them and see how they come out.

    If you plan on selling them, I would at least disclose how many have bent necks but I would include them in the sale.

          No worries, once fired it will be fine, resize and trim, I've had once bent more than that in 5.56 and had zero issues with it.

                If I get one too bent over I usually put a small rounded shank screwdriver in the hole and work it in a circle to open it up. Prior to resizing and trimming. Those will be fine.

                  Almost all my 6.8 look like that before I resize them. The will be fine, only thing to worry about is what Kyle said above about the case lip being bent over inside.

                      When resizing them, the bend will iron out perfectly fine.
