Re-using unfired de-primed Primers ???

[rustyinbend]

I had to remove and disassemble 50 cartridges of 300-WM that I'd built ... because of a stupid mistake (don't ask). So now I have 50 LR Magnum primers that were (carefully) removed from those cartridges using a Lee Universal Depriming Die. Here's my question: Can I re-use those unfired primers, or does sticking a decapping pin in and removing them render them "unreliable", or potentially "degraded" in some way? Apologies if this is a stupid question, but having found tons of stuff about removing live primers, none of them addressed "re-use". Thanks.

Mine work fine

You can re-seat them. Make sure they go all the way to the bottom of the pocket.

I've reused them.

I have reused decapped live primers when it was worth doing so, 50 or more primers. They will ignite, not a concern.
Though I have no evidence, I chose to use them on practice rds, or everyday blasting and not for load workup, or days I planned on blazing a path to glory, whatever the fuck that is.

I Have that T shirt too. No issue with using them

If you don't want to re-use them sell them on Gun Broker for $1 each.

I've re-used them with no problem. But I wouldn't take them to a big match or used them in my SD ammo.

I've gotten three PM's basically saying: "They're useless, send the to me and I'll dispose of them for you." LOL

Sounds like the best advice is to use them for "Blasters", but maybe not for precision "Load Development".

So that's the plan. Thanks!

I would send them as usual for whatever load they were intended.
