I have some .40 S&W boxer primed, aluminum Blazer cases once fired. Could I use these for reloads?

The primer pocket was a little lose after 3 reloads, but was not an issue.
Would I normally use these? Heck NO!! I just was running a little test to see if you could do it and what the results were. For anyone who cares I used large Winchester pistol primers and 3.8-4.1 grains of Clays, 200 gr. SWC lead.
Edit: Yes they say NR. "Some" do use a std primer (most do not). Should they be reloaded, NO! Will Alum become brittle and crack, YES! But that wasn't what he ask.

I suspect they are marked as not reloadable because there is no testing and/ordata available for it.
If you do, have at it.
If you like your gun, your hand and your vision, well then the answer is obvious.
