Primer flash holes way off center - accuracy?

[Markit]

Just finished processing around 200 Aguila 7.62x51 brass.

Noticed all primer flash holes are significantly off center. Never seen this before on 7.62 boxer primed brass before.

I noticed it as I use my lathe to trim brass using the Lee cutter / trimmer chucked and the tailstock holding the shell holder.

Does this have any effect on accuracy?

I doubt it would make much difference that you could see. Might be hard on the decapper pin, though.

Not the brand of brass I would use for an accuracy load/rifle.

I would most likely support Ganderite's overall theory that it wouldn't really degrade it that much, besides that though you should be able to get practical accuracy from the brass.

I define practical accuracy as 1 - 2 MOA as that is, in reality, a well as most people can shoot in practical shooting exercises. Once you start to add stress and time to the equation it gets significantly worse.

When I spoke to Camdex when picking up my .223 processor, they warned me of the Aguillia 7.62 brass if I was going to convert my machine to 7.62. They had warned that they are hard on decapping pins due to the off centre holes and their primer staking method.

Manny thanks all.

I will load these and then discard after shooting.
