i had just cleaned and resized a large batch of 223 brass a few weeks ago. I had set the FL sizing die to contact and push down on the shellholder a little bit at maximum travel of the lever. Learned how to remove a stuck case with my first inadequately lubricated case.
I processed the whole batch and forgot to use my dillon case gage till after everything was done and the brass recleaned and repolished. I now realize that all the cases bases are slightly below the mouth of the gage(just slightly below flush maybe not as below flush when compared to a primer) and are not in between the very small gap thats supposed to indicate proper sizing. The total length varies from 1.743 (federal) to 1.756(armscor). All the cases were once fired brass.
Can I still reload the brass?
