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

    Unless you are a top Internationally listed Pistol Competitor, OR you are shooting all loads Right AT the maximums, then the answer is NO.

    Thanks Handload, I didn't think it did, but I was wrong once a long time ago, so I don't take chances any more.[:D][:D][:D]

    Hello BE VERY CAREFUL with your 40 loads because of very small case capacity any setback of the bullet when it hits the feed ramp can result in high pressure. You need to load close to MAX OAL and either have a small sizing die or a good crimp. If you can push the loaded bullet down with your thumb you need more crimp . DO NOT try any +p loads with the 40.

    Don't worry about the head stamps.
