280AI, brass coming from Norma 280 Rem, loading for first firing as 280AI.
I did not realize the seater had a crimp feature and the Partition bullets lack a cannelure, so it was gripping the neck and pushing down for most of the rounds. I caught my mistake before seating the final ladder step but most of them now have smashed down shoulders.
What are my options? So far I can think to fire them as-is to reform the brass or scrap the brass and save the bullets, powder, and primers.
