brass question

On some of my 300 weatherby mag brass I have small flat spots on the case. Can I still reload these. They have only been shot once.

    i am going to buy more brass for reloading 7mm08 but it is more expensive and harder to find than .308 brass, is there any negative effects to just buying 308 brass and resizing it to 7mm08??

    I am thinking of buying some 9mm Sellier & Bellot Range Safe 124gr. FMJ Ammo. It says the cases are copper washed steel case. Can these be reloaded?

    I am just about to get into reloading (my press is on backorder), and I have a lot of 9mm & .40 brass polished and ready for depriming. I have mostly Winchester with some Remington, Magtech, and a couple of others. I have separated everything according to the headstamp, but I was wondering if it really makes any difference what brass you use as long as the powder, primer, and bullet all agree with the recipe you choose.

    Thanks,
    Joe

    Only if you have a .308. If so, getting the brass mixed up could be a pain. Getting loaded ammo mixed up could be dangerous. Other than that, there is more trimming involved with resizing .308 to 7mm-08.

    I disagree, mildly. The other posters have a point, but I trim 30-06 down to 8mm Mauser, 7mm Mauser, 7.7 Jap, 7.65 Mauser, and once to .308- though that isn't usually worth it. I have never mixed them up, as I keep them sorted in bags all properly labeled, tumble one caliber at a time, etc. It can be done, just make sure you pay attention to what you're doing that's all.
