Do any of you bother with reloading IK brass considering the issues with small flash holes breaking or bending decapping pins? If so do you do anything different to avoid the issue or just keep a solid stock of replacement pins on hand for when you bend one?

I have 560 rounds of once fired IK (Igman) brass that I am debating if I want to trouble with it.........

I put it aside till done sorting by head stamp, then throw it in the recycle bucket. The headache some of them have caused, it's easier to toss then deal with it.

It's not as bad as Berdan primed brass- and could be treated the same way (hydraulic decap, or use a berdan style puller), then a fixture in the drill press to increase the flash hole size for future reloading.

So if you're willing to use those procedures, then go for it- if that sounds like too much work, then it's probably not worth it...
