Pre-covid, I bought a bunch of used (possibly) once fired 7x57 brass on the other forum. Just like anything, those kinds of transactions are a bit of a gamble. Well, projects get delayed and forgotten so here I am years later processing the brass for the first time.
Looks like some of this brass is atleast a decade, possibly three old. At least half of the brass has what I would consider way off center flash holes.
Has anyone had any experience with off center holes? What can I expect with using them? Velocity swings? Bad accuracy? Pressure problems?
I'd rather know what I'm getting into before I go ahead and test them. Also, if it's just gonna be a headache, I'd rather save the primers/powder/lead and use good brass. Or perhaps these can be relegated to iron sight low velocity loads?
