Is it reasonable to use old fired .50 cal brass for reloading if you would take out the rose crimp in the case mouth? I figure after you anneal it, it should work OK after sizing, correct? I've seen it done with 5.56, but how about .50 BMG brass?

Some of the blank ammo I have seen had an over sized flash hole. This makes it unusable for regular loads. The other thing to do is to check the weight against a regular case, some blanks use nonstandard brass thickness.

Like Ed said just make sure you check it a lot of it is slightly different from regular brass.
