Fired Blanks

[JDBoardman]

I have acquired several hundred rounds of Lake City 30-06 brass. After sorting and cleaning them, I find that they are largely fired blanks. Can these be used for reloading, or are the just so much scrap?

I have many LC blanks that I just resized and have been shooting for years. I know they have been reloaded many times. I've never had a problem.

Likewise, I've loaded them and used them along side regular brass. After all, they start out the same way ball ammo does.

Greetings,

I have never used 30-06 blanks, but I have used 223 blanks.

Once I trimmed the crimp petals off, they worked OK.

But they did eventually split at the case mouth, where the remains of the crimp could still be seen.
