Are these cases going to cause me accuracy problems? Deburr and use them or junk them? Thanks
I deburr all my cases. But, if you decide against deburring, shoot them. You will never see any difference between them and the rest of your brass. When you look down the necks of the brass and see a round hole, that's the hole the primer flame goes through. The elongated hole you see looking into the primer pocket is superficial, and of no consequence. I have Win brass with the same elongated hole and I use it with all the others.
