I scooped up a bunch of CJ (Norinco) and S&B brass out of the weeds at the range today. Both are boxer primed and have no primer crimp.

Are these worth reloading for my bolt gun? I do value accuracy. The other options would be to tumble and deprime them and put them away for some future "Great Brass Shortage" or just put them into the scrap bin.

Anyone have experience with them?

Thanks.
 
I'm surprised that there is no primer crimp on the CJ brass. I'd clean them and hold them for future use.
 
Ive just reloaded some S&B brass today they pretty good brass and have no problem with them except that when you deprime them it may need a bit more pressure to push the primers out because the hole is smaller than usual.
Also be sure to give the primer pocket a good cleaning too might have some sealant in there.
