ARGHH!
I'm having a tightwads nightmare.
Reorganizing the mancave and I discovered a few rounds (12 =/-) of 45-70 with split case mouths. Being a brass rat I hate to throw away any brass especially some as large as the 45-70.
It looks like I can trim most of them back to about 2"- (rough measurements. maybe a little shorter) to get rid of the split. My question is what is the 2" long 45-70 brass usable for if anything? I only use it in single shot rifles so is there any reason not to reload them and shoot them?
