I've just been given a couple of hundred once fired RUAG cases - what are they like?
Worth the effort to reload or scrap?
There are some RG ones in there too I've just noticed.

In general it is good brass. If it has all been once through the same rifle (that isn't too sloppy) then certainly worth reloading.

Re: RUAG Brass
RUAG brass is fine, my mate is reloading using it and getting good results.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

Re: RUAG Brass
I am just starting to use it as well, being quite honest I cannot see a huge difference between it and Lapua quality wise, quite how it will last remains to be seen.
Just a thought, I would not jump straight in with a previous known load as the volume of the case might be different so I would suggest you do a H2O capacity check with a few of the old case and then the RUAG.

Re: RUAG Brass
Just sat in the shed doing that now! (they are identical to my remmington brass)
The cases look to be in good condition, all the way from Norway!!
Hopefully I will be able to get some more next month when he goes back out there shooting. (He has mentioned bucket fulls!)
