The same way as fired ones, only carefully.

Yeah, unless primers are crimped in (as in most military ammo) just decap normally. I've done thousands without a problem, and the primers with normally still work fine.

Never had one go off but I am careful when I do it.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I have the Lee universal decapping die. I just decapped a bunch of 264 cases last weekend so I could anneal the brass and neck it up to 284. (Anyone tried to find 7mag brass lately? Damn, I hated sacrificing good 264 cases.)
Anyhow, I saved the primers and put them back in after resizing in the 7Mag die. They all went bang.

Yep, I de-prime using a universal die. I do go lightly however.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
