Hello all. I bought some Tula .357 Magnum about 6 years ago. I am hesitant to shoot it as the spent cases get stuck in the cylinder. I am now reloading and .38 Special / .357 Magnum are calibers I reload. I did a test and was able to pull the bullet and powder with my kinetic bullet puller from the case, and SLOWLY popped the live primer out of the steel case. Since Tula uses boxer primers, I can use my universal decapping die for this.
I then put the recovered powder in a brass .357 Magnum case with a fresh primer and re-use the Tula bullet.
My question is, I was able to recover the Tula primer easily, am I just tempting fate by doing this or is this a safe practice. Should I only use the primer that came out of the Tula case with that powder and bullet?
Thanks
