    I've deprimed my share of modern cases and up around a thousand of milsurp 30-06. The milsurp was exciting, about one in 10 would go off. Mainly due to having to hit them pretty hard to overcome the mil crimp.
    Modern stuff, no issue. Just as already noted, gently does it. If you're primer pockets are getting a bit tired they come out real easy.

    With the milsurp I used to wear a welding helmet and welding gloves, with the modern day stuff, safety glasses.

    Re-using them, nah. But I know reloaders who do. Mind you, there may now be a good market for them on Tardme with the current shortage.
