I hope this is the right place to post this question. I have a new AK47 and have the Dillon XL650 setup to do reloads, but I notice that when the empty case is ejected from the gun that the side of the case is scratched with some brass removed. This scratch is about 1/2 inch long. My question is, should I worry about this and reload the brass, or is this something I should have checked out with the gun. I am hoping that others here reload Ak47 brass. Gary Well, a gun that's unloaded and cocked ain't good for nothin' - John Wayne, True Grit | ||

The only AK I ever shot, threw the empties out hard enough to put a dent in the side of the case. No thought of reloading them.

Jeffeosso, Being new the AK, what/where are these located? My AK is an ATI model with the milled receiver and there are lots of "sharp" edges inside the receiver. Gary Well, a gun that's unloaded and cocked ain't good for nothin' - John Wayne, True Grit | |||
