I now have nothing to shoot them with, so will probably have to pull the bullets & soak the primers in oil.
    You could deprime and reuse the primers - given the cost of them!
    Or give the ammo away.

    Can't imagine any law that would prohibit the disassembly of legally held live ammo. I am sure that every home loader has done so at some time.

    If you want 40 rounds of Barnaul 7.62x39, then they're yours if you collect
