Thank you all for your input.
The way I look at it, if this test batch goes without major failures, I will reload the rest of the brass I have on hand. I expect to reload this brass twice, and then keep some for dummy rounds.
By the way, when resizing, I noticed that at least 20 cases would not fit in the case gauge, not even after using a different set of dies, so, out of the 100 cases I had, I only have about half to reload. Some were damaged during ejection, and those are on the trash bin as well.
It would be a good investment to install an adjustable gas block to help out with the case damage, but I do not want to add money on an upper that I might end up selling.
I will not be able to test the loaded rounds till the second week of January, but I will post results as soon as I can use the facilities.
