I'm starting load development for a .44 mag bullet I haven't used before. I loaded up a box of 50 in 5 groups of .2 grain increments using H110. And regular large pistol primers. Crap.
So I'm going to have to pull all 50, and I'm short on .44 mag brass, so I can't just let it sit. I've read about various methods of recovering live primers and frankly I'm not comfortable with any of them. I figure I'm just going to put on my ears, load up the empty cases in my gun, and pop the primers in my garage. Would I need to re-tumble these cases after the primers were fired, or could I just drop them right back into my clean brass bin?
Also, I haven't pulled them yet, so I suppose if someone wants to trade 50 pieces of clean, twice-fired non-magnum primed brass for some unprimed or once or twice fired brass, I could do that, too.
