I goofed and poured a bunch of primed k-hornet brass in with other stuff for several hours. The primers still work, but I was wondering if they will still provide the same performance. Thanks.

ranb I would look, with a flashlight, at every flash hole and see if it is blocked by your tumbling media. If some are I would attempt to tap out the media. I would shoot these cases in practice at the renge. Away on a hunt is not the place to have problems.

You might have some mash in your primers use your resizeing die and take the primers out. And reprime them the primers wont go off if you nock them back out. Priming or unpriming all ways wear eye
protection.You never know what might happen.

myself, I would put on ear protection, eyes, and go in the garage and pop them off... I did this once, and it was my ONLY batch of 20+% failures.. they fired, but only on second hit...

sorry...

Sounds like an interesting test - see how they group compared to untumbled identical rounds and let us know. Use a chronograph to if you got. How many rounds we talking?

200 pieces, that is why I would prefer to load and shoot them. [Smile]
