Anyone here reaload tz 80 ? I got a bunch of it in a case mixed w 1000's of different casings a trade a long time ago and am tumbling and sorting everything and I seem to have alot of tz 80 and tz81.
Iv done some research and some say it's not safe per faulty brass others say it's fine.
 
I doubt I'll have time to go dig them out and take a pic but I have a little collection of TZ80 and 81 case wall splits. I shoot, and have reloaded it and shot it, but the brass is prone to failures. I shot a match in Charlotte next to a fellow that was shooting an M1A and he had a PILE of splits at the case heads and on the walls of his TZ brass. It was nearly comical. Best not to reload it unless you are making 'plinkers'.
