Why would you want to do this? Powder is cheap right now.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster!

Seems easier to sell those rounds FTF locally & buy other ammo?

What Hickory said! Who knows what powder the factory uses and if and when they change powders.

Seems like a lot of work to open hulls to dump powder unless you plan to just cut them off to get the powder. I'd say not worth it even if you knew what powder you were getting but that's just me. If you aren't sure of the powder then definitely not worth the effort or risk.

If you could find someone in your area with a 20 gage they would probably be happy to work some kind of deal out .
