How do I kill primed ammo

[summitsitter]

I aquired a bunch of 270wsm brass and alot of it was already primed. I can't load them and shoot them becuase they apparently only neck sized and won't fit in my chamber. I do I kill them.

Remove the decap pin from your die, size to fit and load.

If you really want to kill them ... WD-40 will do it. Leave them sitting up for a few days so the liquid can seep down into the primer. After decapping and before repriming rinse in either acetone or lighter fluid. Let them dry completely before loading.

I don't quite see what you are trying to do. Is this unloaded, primed brass only? Just run them through your die with the de-capper, and pop out the primer?

Just full length re-sive with the decapping pin.

Again, as suggested before, remove your decapping pin and full length resize them primed. Just make sure to keep the kids away and wear safety glasses just in case.

If you're decapping live primed brass, it's a good idea to take the extra safety step and wear eye protection, and ear protection too (if you want). The odds of one going off during the decapping process are low, but do you want to bet your eyes on those low odds. I wear glasses when I prime brass, and after (recently officially 2000 rounds) all the ammo i've reloaded i've never once had a primer discharge, but why chance it.
