Depends on what state they are in...and if you can be bothered. If they are bashed about dented etc I wouldn't bother.
I've just pulled some '41 WRA .303 which was pretty manky looking until it went in the stainless steel...looks like new now and will be getting shot in the near future...will be using the case too once I've annealed the necks.Stag On Suckers!

Got that book, it is definitely worth a read. I conned the JHQ library out of their copy, they are getting rid of books and I had noticed that this one had only been read twice in several years, so I asked them for it and got it! Originally Posted by DrStealth
