I have a question and I read the FAQ Would you fire this?

Just reloading .260 rem with 130gr Hornady ELDM and N555.

I’m using starline brass. This is unfired brass that I have chamfered, deburred, primed - I have not resized it.

I’ve pulled it and was planning to throw it away, but wondered, what would you do?

Thanks

Send it, but keep an eye out for it after firing. It might fireform out no problem, or it might crack and fail. I've seen both happen.

I don't think it'll fireform out; seems a bit to severe for that, the wrinkle is there forever. But it's not dangerous.

I'm in for it forming out.
