Question about stretched cases. I purchased 78 .375 Winchester brass from GunBroker along with some 38-55 brass. The .375 brass is stretched out to between 2.035 and 2.050. Trim length is 2.010. My once fired brass is about 2.015, max listed length is 2.020. I am assuming that the .375 was fired in a 38-55 rife (2.065) - maybe several times. I am afraid that if I reload these at normal pressure that I am risking case head separation. Should I toss them or use them for light load plinking rounds? I can see some indications of case head bulge on some of them. I got them for less than $50 and I just bought 100 new cases for $100. Thoughts?
