Lynn, this is the type of information that any novice reloader would love to know. But it now brings up another question, do such variations exist in .308?

All my weapons can shoot either .308 Winchester or 7.62x51 Nato. Are there some firearms where these are not interchangeable? Also, my HK91 chews up brass to a degree. It leaves serations along the cartridge running vertically from the the neck, shoulder and case. Before I added a plastic ejector port deflector it used to crease the case with a big dent. I am pretty sure these serations are being caused by the fluted chamber. All the casing with dents I have discarded. However, I have kept the ones with just these serations.

Can these be reloaded? The casings appear undamaged other than these marks. Can they be reloaded more than once? I don't see any tiny cracks or other issues along the casings. Will these serations present issues when shot again from the HK91? Will a second set cause an issue?
