Hey everyone, which of these do you reckon would be safe to reload? I'm just starting out with some 'once fired' brass (the majority of it is great) and don't really know what is acceptable.

Others may have a different opinion but I would certainly ditch them.

Not a lot of pressure being generated in a .223, so as others have said, if it chambers ok, should be alright. I would resize them first, then check if the chamber before you put powder/pill in them.

It is "once fired", probably from the states. I reckon they are out of an AR and it's an extractor mark. Most of the cartridges were really good - well under a quarter were dented like these.
Edit: yeah, what Supaduke said.
