I've got some 22-250AI brass that I got by accident. Can this be formed back into regular 22-250? It was originally regular 22-250.

Thanks!
Honestly, I've never tried it. I seriously doubt it will go well. I see crushed brass in your future, that's a lot of brass to "move" back into shape. I think even if you anneal it, you're going to lose a bunch of it. Have you thought about trying to trade it online for standard brass?

Well, I gave it a shot. No annealing and didn't have a single problem.
I've made 308 from 30-06 just to see if it could be done.Originally Posted by Slowpoke Slim
This would be much easier.

That's good to know. I'll file that away for future reference. Glad it worked out for you.
