Best not come around here then! I recently broke down a full box of Rem-UMC .25-20 single shot ammo for the brass. I would break down that Herter's ammo for the brass too if I wanted it to feed a .300 Savage. Sorry, but there are times when "collectors" trip up we odd ducks who persist in keeping antique guns barking.

Same... I think just about every box of "old" ammo I've ever acquired has been pulldown fodder.
