aluminum cased ammo...

[Billybob44]

For those out there that have not tried...

DO NOT try to reload these..
Multi problems=Berdan primed??=Will trash up your Size Dies-Will split when try to crimp..

Just Noooooo!! Do not do this...

Ask me how I know...HA HA...Bill.

Yep, aluminum ammo is strictly disposable. The dies and frustration alone make it not worth trying.

 

[Billybob44]

You can pack them into your recycled soda/beer cans before they are crushed=adds weight to your total weight for more $$$..HA HA...Bill.

Those cases can be a real pain at every step, sometimes it’s just better to cut your losses and move on.

I’ve never been a fan, but I can’t say they don’t work. I prefer brass for reloading.

In some sort of no brass crisis, I would try to anneal and convert to a boxer primer pocket on the lathe. Certainly not recommended. I’d rather try to turn the cartridges out of brass round stock. Let’s hope we never get that desperate.

Another use..

I keep a handful of the different cases to use for plugs..
Works great for plugging off plastic or rubber hoses...Bill.

Yeah aluminum cases are basically a “shoot it and forget it” situation, not worth the reloading headache at all
