[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 2361456, member: 25419"] Here's the deal: I have a bunch of 8x57 surplus ammo. The bullets are OK, the rounds go off, albiet slow sometimes. (think flintlock) I'm thinking of pulling the bullets, dumping the powder and replacing powder with appropriate charge of 4895 or something similar, then replacing pulled bullet. Obviously the old stuff is Berdan-primed, so I can't re-prime, or re-use cases. (not that I'd want to) Anyone done this? Will case neck still have plenty of bullet retention? [/QUOTE]
