Found these today at Public Shooting area.
Note Dents on the Cartridge sides. Note punch mark on rims. Reloadable or Not Reloadable?

Reloadable, LC is great brass. You will have to remove the primer crimp.
How to remove primer crimp tacked up in Forum Resources, top of the page. Dent on side is from the brass deflector. Normal. It's 5.56 ammo, gonna have a little wear and tear on the rims. Just a couple of light strokes with a file will take off the burr on the extractor grove. Just remove burr, don't go crazy with the file. |

I've never seen cases from an AR dented that deep in that location. The marks on the head are from the ejector and extractor in an AR type rifle. They're reloadable, but I would use a start charge the first time out to straighten the brass. I don't think those were fired in an AR,, more likely a Mini ranch rifle or one of the newer HK's, with a fixed ejector. 'Borg |

Well, right after I posted for Advise, I put them in the tumbler.
This morning I took them out of the tumbler to inspect further. Thank you all, for answering my post and giving advise. I read all the advise. I, too have not seen any Public Shooting Area cartridges dented like that and rims punched mark like that. I’m going to full-length size them later, to see what happens, to see if the dent tears or not. I’ll fix the rims up with a file or maybe rotary tool. My reloads are loaded down, so I will try them out. I’m sure the dents will some what fire form, and it will be OK. P.S. just read SenselessPuma’s post; That did go through my mind. |

I didn't look at the ejector mark too close before, but it's easy to see that it does not look like an AR ejector. |
