I don't know what else they would be good for, but a long time ago I used a few 5.56 cases for making up small powder dippers. It was before I even had a powder scale, and I wanted a few sizes that fit between the capacities of the Lee dippers I used at the time.
I had to go to a friend that owned a scale. I took the cases with me, cut them off about half way, then used his scale to weigh out a charge I wanted. Put the charge in one of the cases, cut off a little more, and kept at it until I had a case that held a given charge. Then start over again with another case for a different charge.
I marked them all with a scribe, and when I got home I soldered a handle to each little measuring cup.
Took me all day to make five of them, and now I don't even know where they are.
