Do not reload "IMT" or "AMMOLOAD" Marked 9mm Cases

rhuff · 01-16-2016, 04:22 PM

I have not tried to handload any alum cases, but did handload a few old 45ACP steel cases from WWll. It wasn't really intentional, but they came out of my case tumbler looking like a dull nickel coated case, and it didn't dawn on me that they were polished steel cases. They not only loaded o.k., but they shot fine. I am not recommending this, as I am very careful of my sizing dies, but it can, and has been done.
