    I gotta remember to lube it well. (Zing!!)
    Are these salvageable or dead ducks?

    Wasted. Toss them in the recycling bin

          Tolerate
          allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of (something that one does not necessarily like or agree with) without interference.

          Anyone else find it sad that those who preach tolerance CAN'T allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of (something that they do not necessarily like or agree with) without interference.

          I write almost everything in a jovial manner regardless of content . If that's not how you took it please try again

            That's what I got when I thought the crimp wasn't tight enough.

              You can put them on a "shelf of shame" near your reloading bench. That's what I did anyway...

                Holy crap, just read through that thread. Definitely a reminder to not mix up powders and keep it organized on the bench!

                  There's no coming back for those cases. I like to keep mine as a reminder of what not to do.

                    I save cases that are cracked or otherwise messed up in a box, so I can show my son what to look out for. Only case I ever wrinkled was a .444 Marlin, it collapsed while roll crimping it. It wasn't even a heavy crimp, but got me to buy a Lee FC Die. No more wrinkles.

                        Hq! I thought I was the only one who did that to themselves. I have a 'bin of shame' I keep on my bench. I have to look at it every time I go to reload. Started out filling up quickly - thank goodness it's slowed down now!

                              "Shelf of Shame" lol.
                              It was populated pretty quickly when I started and am proud to say it has not been added to in a long while. Next to it is the "Shelf of what to too look out for"
                              Split cases, etc.
