Chinese .45 acp brass

[Garand]

I was recently given a bag of once fired brass and I can't identify the manufacturer and was wondering if it is Chinese? It has a triangle on it, the number "95" and ".45acp". If this is Chinese .45, has anyone tried to reload this brass? Are the primers crimped in place like military ammunition? Any help would be appreciated.

It is Chinese brass. I did reload this many times. Not crimped primers

Deprime - clean - reload - repeat. Some brass in my stock was reloaded 5 - 6 times

I had great success reloading mine.

I've had the same experience reloading Chinese .45 brass.

Have a bunch of these and found the primer hole needed a little work to allow easier seating

I've been swaging the pockets on mine too...

I picked about 100 once fired ones out of the range trash the other day. Oddly enough one was split from stem to stern. I guess the odd ones are a bit brittle.

Ditto. I ended up using a primer pocket reamer on 'em to avoid crushing primers later on.

Tight primer pockets.
I throw it in the garbage.
