A: Yes sir, this ammo is suitable for reloading. It has factory fresh brass cases with the single, centered flash holes you want for Boxer primers.

A: Hello Robert! In general, "training ammo" refers to less expensive ammunition that would not be optimal for self-defense. The key characteristic of training ammo is the full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet. The FMJ is an economical bullet design, yet because the FMJ is not built to expand within soft tissue it is less suitable for self-defense than ammo with a jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullet, which does expand
Training ammo may be used for self-defense if necessary. It just shouldn't be your first choice. It is reliable, and offers ballistic performance comparable to self-defense ammo. Yet training ammo may be manufactured according to slightly lower standards. The manufacturer genrally assumes that a malfunction with their training ammo will only be a minor inconvenience to a shooter while they are training with paper targets. Conversely, the best-made ammo is designed for self-defense where a failure to feed, fire, and extract may result in the shooter's demise.
