Would there be any problems reloading this brass? *pic

I was pulling apart some factory loaded .223 cartridges and found a few like this. Does an off-set flash hole make this unusable?

Should work fine, provided you do your job on sizing correctly, etc.

Were you reloading for accuracy intensive activities like Bench Rest or Long Range shooting I'd probably relegate that to the "practice" lot.

It obviously shot the first go around so it should be fine. As stated above, I wouldn't load it for precision stuff, just plinking ammo

If it was just a few pieces, i would probably toss them because it bugs me.
If its hundreds of them, I would re-use them and leave them on the range after the next firing to perplex the next brass scrounger that picks them up.

This is from unfired factory cartridges I am pulling apart for components.

Then sort the obviously offset ones and shoot them separately to see how they work compared to the properly centered ones.
Those flash holes are offset enough that it's possible for one leg of the primer anvil to settle into the flash hole or maybe even partially block the flash hole.
For that reason, I would sort/isolate them and see how they perform.
If you have problems with a few of them, toss the rest of them.

It's fine.

My question is how you prime those? With a hammer & a punch?

Just like you prime any other boxer primed case. Why would you use a hammer and punch to prime it? That makes no sense.

I'm guessing he meant to say "Deprime".

What does the diameter read on calipers?

Now I understand after re-reading AR15barrels. The offset primer hole had me confused duh
