This is sort of a hypothetical journey onto thin ice...
While picking up my empty 10mm Auto brass I noticed someone else had left quite a bit of it on the ground before me. I picked it up along with the cases I had just shot and threw them into the bag to take home. After tumbling them I noticed some had faint smiles. These went into the scrap bucket to be taken to the salvage yard someday. Anyway, what I am wondering is, as my pistol has a fully supported chamber, would it be possible to reload these cases? I haven't sized them, and don't know if they will even chamber, but it seems to me, if you can get that far into the process, after the case has been used again, the case should be pretty much like any other previously fired one. Could anyone with more metallurgical smarts / handloading experience tell me if this is so or not? At this point I'm just curious. I thought this might make for some good discussion. FWIW the cases were marked A-USA which I believe is Armscor.
