My Dad just won't stop buying guns, grabbed an IHC Garand last year, and a couple months ago a 1903. I don't think he's got any civilian 30-06s.
So this weekend, in scrounging for Garand clips (got some) there was also a good amount of once-fired CMP brass on one table, two bucks for 20 or 10 cents a case. Deprimed, nothing else. I went ahead and got 100 cases with an FA 61 Match headstamp. At the worst, I suppose I could mount those to a chunk of wood for a coat rack, but I fully intend to deep-clean, anneal, size, trim, load and shoot.
Am I nuts? Suicidal even to shoot one? Anyone know if the original primers were corrosive?
