"BTW shooting old corrosive ammo's no problem, just clean it thoroughly, but the old brass probably shouldn't be reloaded."
Baloney! You've got to go through the process of cleaning the rifle anyway, so if that brass is Boxer primed, just slosh it around in that hot soapy water that you're cleaning the rifle with, then rinse in clean hot water.
If I'd have trashed the 800 plus rounds of corrosive 30-06 brass, WW-2 issue, LC42 and 43, SL42, and some other odd ball headstamps, I'd have wasted a lot of money buying that ammo. You only have to do it once. In my case, after I cleaned it, i decapped them and cleaned them again just to be sure. Then, I removed the crimps and I've been loading that stuff ever since. Of course, if it is Berdan primed, don't chuck it, but put it in with the rest of the scrap brass you are saving to take to the recyclers. You're not saving it? I recently took 106 pounds of junk brass that's been piling up over the last five years or so. I came home with a check for $116.09. That'll pay for quite a few components, don't you think?
