Empty Brass Question
Ok I have some once fired brass all 30-06 from a few years ago I know some is reloadable the others I am not sure. They are listed below by the exact head stamp can anyone tell me if they are reloadable? I made the font size bigger so it can be seen real good.
TIA

The sure way is to shine a flashlight into the case and look for one (Boxer) or two (Berdan) flash holes.
Berdan can be reloaded but it's more work than most people (including myself) think it's worth.
Of your three unknowns:
AMA is Danish
Berdan
FNB is Belgian (Fabrique National) probably Berdan
IK is Yugoslavian (Igman Zavod) probably Berdan.

... berdan primed and not reloadable using conventional Boxer type primers. You may reload it using berdan primers from some of the European suppliers.
I have no ideas or information about the other two headstamps listed.

Good advice on the Boxer/Berdan question.
Are you aware that a lot of mil brass needs to have the primer pocket swaged after depriming (decapping) to allow proper insertion of the new primer?
