I have been given a lot of old 30-06 brass by a friend who father was a reloader and who has passed away. While preparing to clean the brass l found about 60 of them had unfired primers. They were primed at least 20 years before I got them. I want to deprime the brass before I reload. Is there a way to ensure they can safely be deprimed? Would soaking the brass in water render them inert? I really don’t want to cycle them thru my bolt action and spend time cleaning the barrel.
