Deformed case question

[bigfish_7]

Reloading once fired lake city 308 I purchased here on SH. Using RCBS small base die and bullet seater on a progresive. After a few rounds through my AR the gun jams, clear it and 35-40 rounds later it jams again. chalked it up to a dirty gun. Next time out take the bolt gun and some of the rounds will not chamber. Rechecked measurements of my reloads and everything seems in order. The only problem I can find is the base of the ones that will not chamber appear bent. Is it possible to bend or deform the base of the case during the resizing step or when it was originally fired?

Part 2 All of the rounds are crimped, can the bullets be pulled and primers reused with any amount of accuracy?

Thanks MJ

Probably machine gun fired. Toss them. Once that deformed, you can't really correct the problem. JMHO
