[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 676870, member: 9215"] [I]"I read somewhere that old brass should be annealed." [/I] Web expert BS, fergit it. [I]"Does anyone have "experience with old brass? "[/I] Yes. Load it, shoot it. Live primers punch out exactly like dead ones. They aren't sticks of dynamite but if one should go off it will be enclosed in the die anyway. Just don't let a pile of live ones accumulate in the catcher tray. Soaking primers in oil will kill them but it take a lot longer than some folk seem to think - like a week or two, depending on the type of oil. [/QUOTE]
