[kimporter]

i have some old(pre ww2) rem-umc brass and was wondering if its safe to use,its been de-primed,(dont know if its resized)and i was planning on using it for some lite plinkin loads,i think it would be safe but wanted to hear others opinion

I would have no qualms about using it.

Me either.

I would have no qualms about using it.

As long as it was not cracked or otherwise showing signs of deterioration.

For light loads in my Davis 32acp derringer, I used 90 grain LRN and 2.1 of WW231. I had a Walther PPk and that action cycled with that load, but I intended the load for the derringer in SASS side matches. The ammo worked fine but I was so slow, I never finished in the top 3 of any group of 4 or more!

I agree, if the brass is not split and the primer pockets are fine no reason to to load them up. I also agree W231 is a very good powder choice.
