I have about a hundred primed 06 cases. I was given about a hundred reloads that I had no idea what load was in them. They had some dented and dirty cases too. I pulled all the bullets and now would like to save and reuse the primers if possible. The down side is I have no clue how they were stored in the past. I would probably just used them in reduced plinking loads for the mannlicher shoenauer so if I get a squib it wouldn’t be in a hunting or competition setting. I found this thread but it only answers a couple of my questions. Like, what is the best method to use? Would you just chamber a few empties and see if they go off before going to the trouble?
