Recently I was lucky enough to pick up some 223/556 range brass, mostly LC. While depriming I notice some were very easy and when I went to swaging the primer pockets I noticed many appeared to have been chamfered and a good bit of brass was removed.

The one on each end is Privi and they are crimped and the four in the middle are all what I would call reamed about 1/16" plus deep Lake City. They seam to hold primers ok. Is this common? Why not swage them instead? Should I bother to reload them. Any input would be appreciated. My only thought was whoever left them had decided they were only good for one reload after doing this and that is why I was able to gather them up.
