While shopping in Vender's Row during the National Matches at Camp Perry a couple weeks ago, I purchased around 400 rounds of once fired Lake City brass. While decapping the brass, I discovered around 20 various pieces of Blank brass. Most is Lake City, but there are also a few Saint Louis, a Rockford Arsenal, and a WCC too. I assume that these are from Grenade Launcher blanks (except one)... but that's really an assumption. Please see the picture below.

My question is this: Can this blank brass be sized and loaded to shoot bullets, or is the brass too week. I recall hearing something a few years ago about blanks being made from rejected ball brass because they don't see the same pressures as live rounds... but I might have misunderstood that. I'm happy to toss them in the scrap bin... but if the brass can be resized and loaded, I'll just toss them in the cleaner instead!
