308 Win. Brass Primer pocket Flash Hole

[gt1_911]

New reloader here, I was sorting out my once fired brass and I found some that the primer pocket flash hole where oblong in shape compared to new lapua brass I have. Is it safe to reload the oblong primer pocket flash hole or just trash it? The tool I used was a Harvey deprime tool.

One brand is $75 per 100, the other is $45 per 100.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Sinclair sells a tool to uniform the primer holes to .001" over SAAMI, but I don't know if I'd go to the trouble.

Is it safe....yes. But are you going to get the most accurate and consistent loads possible...no
All depends on what you're reloading for
