    How is it primed? If it's berdan primed it's likely not worth the effort as the cases are scrap metal after the first firing. Most 5.56 wasn't from what I've seen of it and is reloadable with standard small rifle primers but I have seen Berdan 5.56 cases. I think you'd want to be getting it near free cheap anyway, as by the time you press the pill in a few thou to break any sealant then either whack it out using an inertia puller or set the press up again and clamp the pill and pull it using a collet setup in the press that is a lot more time to invest.
