[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 518807, member: 30671"] I understand how one can get factory ammo that in the end you really don't want to shoot, (or reloads for that matter) so no slap in the face intended. 1) The bullets I've pulled either kinetic, or collett never seem to perform as well at the range as unpulled bullets. So for me they're suspect at that point, useful for fireforming, offhand practice or donated to someone more interested in volume shooting. 2) Powder is also not useable in my mind. 3) Depending on circumstances I've chambered and "popped" primers. I've deprimed on the press carefully with eye protection and good gloves. I've never had one go off. I don't know if it helps "old hands" when I was young soaked them overnight in WD-40. I decided the additional mess wasn't worth it. 4) Then you've arrived at your goal of reloadable brass. The technical side of it's pretty straight forward, your question would it be wise only you can answer. At the cost of components it would be a shame if you can't find someone to buy them, or trade with. [/QUOTE]
