My grandpa had this random bag of .410 shells...are they reloads?
The primer and primer cup (?) make me think they are...but I've never looked at .410 shells or older stuff like this so maybe they're original. Thoughts?

The crimps look good and not burned. Maybe factory or only loaded once. The brass on a few of them looked to be resized incorrectly - I'm seeing around the brass. Also, the primers don't look fully seated like factory. But, these look old and manufacturing not what it is today. I'd cut them open and save the shot. Toss the powder in the flower bed or yard, and pop the primers with a hammer and then toss in the trash.
